Dodge is bringing a Power Wagon back into its lineup for 2005, after an absence of 25 years. It's based on the Dodge Ram 2500, and the manufacturer claims in press releases that the new truck is "the most capable off-road production pickup ever created." You can buy the truck with either a Regular or Quad Cab body and both versions are equipped with:
  • A 345-horsepower, 5.7-liter HEMI Magnum V-8
  • Electric locking front and rear differentials
  • An electronic disconnecting front sway bar
  • A custom-built 12,000-lb. winch

More Features

  • Custom matte finish, wheel flares
  • 17 x 8-inch polished forged aluminum wheels
  • 33-inch BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires

Suspension

The front suspension uses a solid front axle with coil spring design, while the rear features a new single stage leaf design with softer spring settings.

Watch for more details as they are released by Dodge.
