The Ram Power Wagon is one of a select few full-size pickups engineered from the ground up for backcountry adventures. In the words of Publisher Scott Brady, “The Power Wagon is, without question, the full-size truck designed principally as a high-capability model, with both the pedigree and specification list to match.” Today’s 2006 Ram Power Wagon (229,000 miles) is just $17,000 OBO, less than a third of what you’d pay for the latest model despite incorporating many of the same desirable attributes. With the money saved, you could easily address the older model’s shortcomings, buy a lightweight camper, and travel around the world several times over. If you want a better idea of how the Power Wagon performs as a backcountry rig, check out builds from Kenda Tires USA and Trail Recon.

Its excellent tight steering offers precise control, allowing me to navigate both corners and rough terrain with confidence. The Power Wagon’s robust build and powerful performance make it more than just a vehicle; it’s a reliable companion for any adventure. Whether tackling off-road trails or simply cruising down the highway, the driving experience reminds me of why I fell in love with this truck in the first place.”
