Ram Power Wagon Is Four Wheeler’s Pickup Truck of the Year

by Dodge in the News on December 7, 2011

The 2012 Ram 2500 Power Wagon was designed to be the ultimate off-road performer, and according to Four Wheeler magazine, it’s mission: accomplished. The premier publication for off-roading fanatics recently named the Power Wagon the 2012 Pickup Truck of the Year.

“You can’t beat the versatility of the 2012 Ram Power Wagon,” said John Cappa, editor of Four Wheeler Magazine. “The Power Wagon crawls over the most difficult rocky terrain just as easily as it speeds over rough dirt roads or commutes on smooth highways. Add in a 10,200-pound towing capacity along with multiple useful storage compartments, including the RamBox, and you end up with a remarkable factory-built ¾-ton truck that easily deserves Four Wheeler’s 2012 Pickup Truck of the Year award.”

Helping the Power Wagon climb to the top spot this year are features like:

  • 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires
  • An electronically disconnectable sway bar
  • Electric locking front and rear differentials
  • Specially tuned shocks from Bilstein
  • A custom-designed Warn winch capable of winding up 12,000 lbs.
  • Plenty of underbody skid-plate protection
  • A 4.56 axle ratio
  • The RamBox lockable in-bed cargo-management system

Three trim levels, including ST, for value-driven customers; SLT, for those who prefer a mix of comfort and capability; and Laramie, for those who want to bring high levels of luxury to even the remotest locations

“The folks at Four Wheeler magazine are serious off-road experts and have once again honored the Ram Power Wagon with this significant industry award,” said Fred Diaz, president and CEO of Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico. “Straight off the dealer’s showroom floor, our Power Wagon is, by far, the most capable off-road truck. We’re proud that Four Wheeler recognizes this.”
