If you’re interested in buying the most off-road-capable Ram pickup available, the choice is easy: get the new Power Wagon. But if you’re not interested in spending quite that much money, or if you prefer the look of a more standard 2500 model, Ram has carried over quite a bit of the Power Wagon’s capability in a new off-road package.
It also includes Bilstein monotube shocks, large fender flares, front tow hooks and, depending on the 2500 model you choose, either LT275/70R 18E OWL or LT 285/60R 20E OWL on/off-road tires from Firestone.
You’ll also get hill descent control (which is a new feature for the Power Wagon this year) and rear anti-spin differential.
This package basically brings all the important stuff over from the Power Wagon except for these specifics: 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires, two-inch lift, sway bar, front and rear locking differentials, 12,000-pound winch, and exterior styling (duh).
And if you really want all those Power Wagon exclusives without the Power Wagon look, Ram has even given you another option: The Tradesman Crew Cab 4Ă—4.
This Tradesman looks more like a standard 2500 but includes all the off-road equipment of the Power Wagon including the winch, lockers, larger tires, electronic disconnecting sway bar, suspension and under-body armor.
