Ram is launching its first power wagon with a Cummins turbo-diesel. Is This Really a 2027 Ram Power Wagon Diesel? To see what it’s all about, I got hands-on with a fully-specced model. Let’s dig!
Customers have been asking for a factory diesel-powered Power Wagon for decades. Ram is listening bring this model in the market. However, does it have all the Power Wagon hardware? How much does it cost?
Classic Power Wagon qualities include front and rear locking differentials, a disconnecting front anti-sway bar, and excellent articulation. It’s a focused and dedicated off-roader that sacrifices payload and towing capacity for great off-roading.
This new 2027 Cummins-diesel power wagon strikes a different balance. It houses the front/rear locking differential and disconnecting front anti-sway bar. However, this removes the high flexibility of the front Artilink suspension design. It also removes the factory installed front pulley.
In turn, it adds an extremely powerful and efficient 6.7L Cummins I6 turbo-diesel with 430 horsepower and 1.075 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and a 3.42-to-1 rear axle ratio.
This Cummins Power Wagon has a massive increase in payload and towing capacity compared to its HEMI-powered counterpart.
This 2027 model rides on 20-inch wheels and 34-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires that are also available on the Ram HD Rebel model. This tire has a high weight rating to meet additional payload and towing requirements.
Starting price for the 2027 Ram HD Power Wagon Diesel is $88,470 (including destination charge). The model you see in this video has a sticker price of over $103,000.
Please join me in this video to see this truck up close and personal. We’ll have more videos coming soon comparing the Power Wagon with other trucks in its class.
