2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon Review

Опубликовано 20 февраля 2017, 14:35

As the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon climbed the jagged rocks I’m not sure I could climb with my own two feet, it seemed an unstoppable force. Seeing any truck make this climb would be impressive, but there is something about the massive 6,996-pound heavy duty pickup scaling the rocks that truly seems to defy physics.

For 2017, the Power Wagon is all grown up, offering new looks and a few small tweaks to make it even better. Up front, the truck borrows the grille from its little brother the Ram Rebel and rids itself of the childish graphics that were offered on the previous truck, offering a much cleaner “Power Wagon” graphic on the sides of the box. A new powder coated front bumper has also been added to protect it from the scraping of the winch cable.

Besides these small upgrades, the recipe for this big brute hasn’t changed. Powering the wheels is a 6.4-liter V8 good for 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, sent through a six-speed automatic transmission. A total of 14.3 inches of ground clearance helps to clear everything on the ground along with a 33.6-degree approach angle, 26.2-degree departure angle and 23.5-degree breakover angle.
