AUBURN HILLS, MI- The Ram Power Wagon is returning to the 2014 model-year with a new standard, more powerful engine.
The heavy-duty, off-road pickup is powered by a standard 6.4-liter V8 Hemi engine capable of 410 horsepower and a peak torque rating of 429 lb.-ft. It will feature a payload of up to 1,490 pounds and towing capacity up to 10,810 pounds. The previous standard engine was a 5.7-liter V8 Hemi.
“The 2014 Ram Power Wagon fills a need for those who travel into extreme terrain for rescue or recreation, while delivering on-road civility and the towing capability expected from a heavy-duty truck,” said Reid Bigland, Ram Truck president and CEO.
The vehicle – based on the Ram 2500 Heavy Duty 4x4 Crew Cab – features a new frame, suspension and top-of-segment off-road technology and equipment.
When it arrives in dealerships later this quarter, it will be offered in three trim levels: Tradesman, SLT and Laramie. Each trim, according to Chrysler, features unique exterior treatments – ranging from grilles to exterior coloring. All models are bookended with chrome front and rear bumpers.
