In addition to the standard 2500 kit, the Power Wagon includes a 2-inch lift, locking differentials and a 12,000-pound winch. The Power Wagon also boasts Bilstein shocks at all four corners, and a unique Ram Articulink suspension design that allows for better off-road articulation.
“Capability is top of mind with heavy-duty pickup truck customers. Ram trucks are expected to work every day without breaking a sweat,” said Reid Bigland, President and CEO of the Ram Truck Brand. “The 2014 Ram Power Wagon fills a need for those who travel into extreme terrain for rescue or recreation, while delivering on-road civility and the towing capability expected from a heavy-duty truck.”
The Power Wagon is powered by a 410 horsepower, 429 lb-ft of torque version of Chrysler’s 6.4L HEMI V8. No fuel economy ratings were released, but the 6.4L will feature cylinder deactivation for improved mileage. A lower 4.10 rear axle ratio, down from 4.56, should also help in the economy department.
Power is routed to the Power Wagon’s standard 33-inch wheel and tire package via a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Power Wagon will be offered in three trim levels – Tradesman, SLT and Laramie.
