Dodge is set to revive the Power Wagon as a high end heavy-duty truck option for Ram buyers.
Based on a Ram 2500, the Power Wagon packs a 6.4L V8 making 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft. Power is put to the ground via a 6-speed automatic.
Additional features include a reworked suspension with an additional two inches of lift, locking differentials and a 12,000-pound winch. New for 2014 (and standard for all Ram HD trucks) is a front axle disconnect system for an additional 1 mpg of fuel economy.
Bilstein shocks are featured at all four corners, and a sway bar disconnect system can be engaged in four-wheel drive at speeds below 18 mph. At the rear, the 2500 adopts the Ram 1500′s coil-spring suspension.
While the Raptor is more of a single-purpose truck (meant for driving around off-road, specifically in sand) the Power Wagon looks to revive the heavy-duty/off-road capable truck that has been the traditional positioning of the Power Wagon. The adoption of the coil-spring suspension will likely prove controversial for many truck die-hards.
