The Dodge Power Wagon is the most capable OE off-road truck sold by anybody today. With front and rear ELockers, a Warn 12,000-pound winch, LT285/70R17 (33-inch) BFGoodrich All-Terrains on forged aluminum wheels, and an electric sway-bar disconnect, the Power Wagon can take on the worst you can throw at it off-road. Its on-road comfort is an added bonus.
The 5.7L Hemi Magnum V8 generates 345 hp at 5,400 rpm and 375 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Its electronic throttle control is much more than drive-by-wire. Just as in the JK Wrangler, shifting into Low range changes the throttle program and makes the throttle response much more manageable off-road. The 2009 Dodge Ram Hemi has aluminum cylinder heads, hemispherical combustion chambers, a high compression ratio, and a design that utilizes two spark plugs per cylinder to burn fuel more efficiently.
