The Power Wagon remains the most capable full-size pickup out of the box and is a favorite on the forum with recent offerings including this 2005, 2020 w/ Alu-Cab Cabin, and 2022 w/ Enduro SuperTourer. From the factory, it boasts a heavy-duty 4WD system, front and rear lockers, a sway bar disconnect, winch, and more. These rugged backcountry features are balanced with an exceptionally well-appointed interior to create a vehicle that’s unstoppable on the trails and perfectly civilized when eating up highway miles. It’s worth noting that the Power Wagon’s soft Articulink suspension is excellent on the trails and makes for a very comfortable ride, but it does mean a significantly lower payload when compared to the standard 2500. Fortunately, with the support of the aftermarket, this issue can be addressed with a large selection of off-the-shelf suspension upgrades. Subsequently, there’s no shortage of dialed overland examples with inspiring builds from the likes of Trail Recon, Enduro Campers, and Main Line Overland. Cue today’s 2012 Ram Power Wagon (132,000 miles), which has been meticulously maintained (see original listing) and incorporates tasteful upgrades.
From the Seller:
“This is a well-equipped Power Wagon, with upgrades to give you modern conveniences for daily driving (wireless charging, heated seats, a rolling hard tonneau cover, etc), as well as modifications for all of your off-road adventures. I’m the second owner, and bought it in 2013 with just 11,000 miles. All maintenance records have been kept, and no expense has been spared since then. The transmission had no notable issues, but was throwing a CEL, so I had it rebuilt; similarly, the rear differential started leaking from the pinion seal, so while I was in there, it made sense to address it. The body is super straight with great paint, and not your usual “pinstriped to hell.” The interior has no odors (non-smoker). Clean Colorado title with two keys.”
