Whats the difference between a regular RAM and a Power Wagon?

The main difference between regular RAM and the Power Wagon is that the Power Wagon is a specific model of the RAM truck line that is designed for off-road use, while regular RAM trucks are the standard models not optimized for off-road driving. The Power Wagon comes with enhanced off-road capabilities and features that make it better suited for tackling rugged terrain compared to the regular RAM trucks.


What is Regular RAM?


Regular RAM trucks refer to the standard models in the RAM lineup, which include the RAM 1500, RAM 2500, and RAM 3500. These trucks are designed primarily for on-road use, with features and capabilities focused on tasks like hauling, towing, and everyday driving. They come with a range of engine options, bed sizes, and cab configurations to meet the needs of different users.


What is the RAM Power Wagon?


The RAM Power Wagon is a specialized off-road version of the RAM 2500 heavy-duty truck. It is equipped with a number of features that enhance its off-road performance, including:



  • Increased ground clearance: The Power Wagon has a higher ride height and larger tires to improve its ability to navigate over obstacles and rough terrain.

  • Locking differentials: Front and rear locking differentials provide better traction and control in low-traction situations.

  • Winch: A factory-installed winch is included to help the Power Wagon extract itself or others from difficult situations.

  • Skid plates: Reinforced skid plates protect the Power Wagon's underbody components from damage when driving over rocks and other obstacles.

  • Off-road suspension: The Power Wagon's suspension is tuned for improved articulation and wheel travel to handle uneven terrain.


These specialized features make the RAM Power Wagon better suited for off-road use compared to the regular RAM models, which are more focused on on-road performance and capabilities.
