2016 Ram Power Wagon w/ Four Wheel Campers’ Hawk Shell :: Featured Classified

The Dodge Power Wagon hit the market in March 1946 and was the first factory 4WD pickup sold to civilians. Over the next 70 years, it remained in a constant state of evolution and forged a reputation as the most capable full-size truck on the market; today, it continues to set the benchmark. From the factory, this model is optimized for when the tarmac ends, with a soft Articulink suspension, front and rear locking differentials, full underbody skid plates, a front disconnecting sway bar, heavy-duty bumpers, rated recovery points, and a Warn winch. Inside, these rugged attributes are balanced with a best-in-class interior, which is more akin to a luxury SUV than a pickup (learn more in Overland Journal’s Full-Size Truck of the Year). Cue today’s 2016 Ram Power Wagon (153,xxx miles), which incorporates a plethora of premium modifications and has been topped with a Four Wheel Campers Hawk Shell. It’s also worth noting that this rust-free example has been meticulously maintained and has even undergone a transmission swap (at 60,000 miles) and an engine long block replacement (at 102,000 miles). It’s one of the most proven Power Wagon packages we’ve seen, and in every regard, care was taken to cherry-pick mission-critical upgrades while respecting the platform’s limitations. To this end, the Four Wheel Campers’ Hawk Shell is a prime example, providing everything you need in a practical modular configuration with a huge weight savings over a fully optioned alternative. Finally, at $37,000 OBO, this package represents impressive value and is ready with no lead time for your next adventure.

From the Seller:

“This truck has been our dream adventure rig and our second Power Wagon. Every upgrade had longevity and functionality in mind, from the tires to the camper, and was intended for cross-country adventures and overland travel. We absolutely love “Big Red,” and we have so many great memories. Our style of travel is changing, and we hope that this Power Wagon can make great memories for a new family. It has traveled to 47 states and all of Baja and has been our do-everything truck for over six years. Consequently, the truck and camper are well used, and there are scratches on the truck and a couple of small dents on the camper from rubbing against branches in the desert. The truck drives great, but it has seen some things. So, it’s not perfect. It’s a great start to an incredible overland rig and way cheaper than buying new.”
