2005 Dodge RAM Power Wagon

Description: Mid-Size Pickup Truck

Despite the "wagon" tag, this is really a truck and it's designed for serious 4WD work. The Power Wagon is based on a heavy-duty Ram 2500 pickup with either Regular Cab or Quad Cab body configuration and the 345-hp 5.7-liter Hemi Magnum V8 aboard. The name traces back 25 years in Dodge's history, and this modern interpretation is described by Dodge as "the most capable off-road pickup on the planet."

Suspension components include a solid front axle with coil springs and a new single-stage leaf in back with Bilstein monotube high-pressure gas shocks at every corner. Ram Power Wagon rolls on 17-inch polished aluminum wheels with 33-inch Goodrich All-Terrain tires, and it carries class-exclusive electric locking front and rear differentials, an electronic disconnecting front sway bar plus a Warn winch up front rated to tug 12000 pounds.
