What is the 2018 RAM 2500's Power Wagon trim?

The Power Wagon trim is an exciting addition to the 2500 model lineup, and gives you the ability to take this rugged workhorse off of the beaten path. With off-road-ready features such as underbody skid plates, Bilstein off-road shock absorbers, tow hooks, electronically locking front and rear differentials, hill descent control, a manual transfer case, an integrated front winch, a front anti-roll bar and more, the Power Wagon can tackle some seriously tough terrain. This trim also features unique design features such as matte black accents and a specialized grille and tailgate. For a more economical option, a Power Wagon variant is available to add on to the Tradesman trim, and simply adds the Power Wagon's mechanical components to the bade 2500. There is also an Off-Road feature package available for more moderate off-road capability.
