2019 RAM POWER WAGON: The heavy-duty trail king gets a new robe

摘要

DO ENTHUSIASTS TODAY EVEN UNDERSTAND just how special the Power Wagon is? In the age of Rubicons, Raptors, ZR2s, TRDs, and Rebels, are people too spoiled to realize just what a game-changer the big Ram is to the off-road world? We were one of the first outlets to drive the original modernday Power Wagon when it was unveiled in 2004 as a 2005 model, and we immediately fell in love. Available in either a regular cab or Quad Cab, the Power Wagon had a 140-inch wheel-base, a 345hp 5.7L Hemi, a factory lift, 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, a unique factory-installed Warn winch, front and rear electronic lockers with a rear helical limited slip when unlocked, 4.56 gears, an electronic disconnecting sway bar, Bilstein monotube shocks, rock rails, and forged Alcoa aluminum wheels. All for the amazingly reasonable price of $36,660 with a six-speed manual (yes, those things were available on fullsize trucks once) regular cab, or $39,970 for a five-speed automatic Quad Cab.
