The Ram 2500 Power Wagon is a rough and tough tumbler in a massive package with even bigger off-road traversing on its mind. If you're looking for a truly full-size truck with factory added off-road ready features - this very well could be the truck for you. For the latest model year, Ram updated the Power Wagon (which is based on the Ram 2500) with a pair of new trim levels in order to broaden the truck’s appeal.

At first glance one will notice the Power Wagon is boldly labeled as exactly that, with oversized decals plastered across the sides of the hood. Below the hood is a factory integrated Warn electric winch with a 12,000-lb capacity. Below that is a electronically disconnecting sway bar for extreme off-roading.

Then there is the standard HEMI engine, all 5.7-liters of rumbling V8 glory delivering 383 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 400 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Ram says it also modified the engine mapping so that when in four-wheel Low, the throttle pedal response softens and the idle speed increases by 100 rpm (from 650 to 750 rpm) - providing added control when ascending and descending off-road obstacles at slow speeds.

Transferring all that power to whatever mild-to-extreme terrain the Power Wagon comes across are 32-inch BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires - providing relatively quiet and smooth operation on the road and still maintaining excellent grip in many off-road environments.

Of course, slamming into rocks and ruts can take a toll on occupants without a proper suspension, which is why Ram went with top-notch Bilstein shock absorbers. The Power Wagon's disconnecting sway bar (electronic) also allows for a substantial bump in travel - nine inches to be exact.

In fact, Power Wagon's solid front axle with coil springs and single-stage leaf spring rear suspension offer the best articulation in the class.

Of course, even with aftermarket-style shocks bottoming out is inevitable on tough terrain, which is why the Power Wagon features numerous skid plates located in strategic locations to protect key components, like the front and rear electronically locking differentials.

Speaking of differentials, to make sure the Power Wagon has plenty of low-end grunt, Ram equipped the truck with a viciously low-geared 4.56 ratio.

Above the truck are a set of cab clearance lamps which help add to the heavy-duty nature of the truck while simultaneously meeting DOT regulations.

Inside the Power Wagon occupants will find a familiar interior to the Ram 1500 , with soft-feel door bolsters and armrests and seats designed with improved power lumbar and lateral support.

Six-ring instrumentation keeps track of vehicle functions, while many controls are arrayed in the center stack for easy access to buttons and knobs. Other available features include two-tone upholstery with full-width contrasting stitching on the instrument panel, premium seating with heat and ventilation, heated rear seats or steering wheel, automatic temperature control, memory seats, radio and mirrors, navigation, adjustable pedals and numerous infotainment options, including SIRIUS Backseat TV with three channels of programming, Uconnect Multimedia with a 30-gigabyte hard drive and an available first-in-segment 10-speaker surround-sound system.

New for the latest model year are the ST and Laramie trim levels. The stripped down ST caters to fire and emergency services, mining companies, oil exploration and forestry services in need of an everyday off-road vehicle. Features include single-tone paint, a black grille, chrome front and rear bumpers with fog lamps, black fender flares and black mirrors with optional clearance lamps.

The well-equipped Laramie brings leather seats, a premium audio system, dual-zone A/C and woodgrain dash and door panels. Also included is a floor mounted, manual transfer case shifter. On the outside, the exterior features body-colored fender flares, chrome-pated mirrors, bumpers and grille as well as unique badging.

While the Power Wagon is obviously built for off-roading, plenty of attention was also paid to safety, with an extensive list of key safety features: Anti-lock brakes (ABS), advanced multi-stage airbags for reduced injury risk, standard side-curtain airbags, an energy-absorbing steering column to reduce possible injury to the driver in a severe crash a tire pressure monitoring system and more.

Key Competitors
Alternatives to the Power Wagon include the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew and versions of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD equipped with the Z71 off-road package.
