Fresh off the success of the newly styled 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel, Ram is moving that new grille and tailgate to other pickups, starting with the 2017 Ram Power Wagon. Essentially the same underneath mechanically when compared to the 2016 model, the 2017 Power Wagon will get a fresher, bolder look and new graphics package.
While at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show we took the opportunity to walk around the updated model to see what's new and what's not. Spoiler alert: We like the seat detailing that emulates the actual tire treads of the pickup and the decision to keep the 6.4-liter V-8 Hemi as the only available engine. All Power Wagons will continue to be offered as a crew cab with the 6-foot 4-inch bed.
Our favorite feature? Ram is now offering a no-frills Tradesman Power Wagon for the price-conscious extreme off-roader. Watch the video for more.
