Power Wagon BlogBy now you’ve seen the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty Power Wagon. You know it’s got unmatched off-road capability, and you may have even seen it in action. Whether you’re familiar with the Power Wagon’s capabilities or just starting to check it out, here are a few features you’ll be glad to know come standard.

Electric Winch

That’s right, the winch is standard. So if you’re taking your Power Wagon out for some off-road fun or need to rescue “the other guys” from a stuck situation, you’ll find yourself well equipped in the Ram Heavy Duty Power Wagon. The Warn 12,000-pound winch is mounted right behind the front bumper, so you can pull up to the scene and save the day … and prove just how powerful your Ram Truck really is.

Front Disconnecting Stabilizer Bar

If you’re in the market for an off-road vehicle, we know you’ll want to be pushing it to the limits. That’s why the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty Power Wagon also comes standard with the unique Ram Articulink front suspension system. High movement joints and the sway bar disconnecting system give you increased control over your axels, so you anticipate bumps in the road with excitement, not dread.

Electronic Lock Differentials

Why go the four-by-four route if you aren’t going to go 100%? Front and rear electronic-locking differentials come standard on every Ram Heavy Duty Power Wagon to give it true four-wheel drive and maximum traction. You’ll be in control every bit of the way.

Of course, this isn’t all the Power Wagon has to offer. You know it comes with a 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 with best-in-class 410 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque … all this featuring an unsurpassed powertrain warranty of five years or 100,000 miles. Equip it with a Ram Box, and you’ll be the envy of every other truck on (or off) the road.

Ram Commercial with Keegan Ales – “That Truck is Known All Over Town”

Keegan

No business is bad business when you’re putting your Ram Truck to work. We recently had the chance to speak to Tommy Keegan, the founder of Keegan Ales in Kingston, NY, about how he uses his Ram Truck in the brewing industry. At Keegan Ales, they use the Ram Truck for all sorts of things, as Tommy was happy to share with us.

It has carried many, many kegs and cases of beer … and still runs like new. When not hauling beer, we use it constantly to run to the hardware store for supplies or to the store for supplies for our bar/restaurant. We also log a lot miles all over the Tri-State Area making sales calls.

When you spend this much time working, there has to be time for fun, too, right? We asked Tommy if he had any good stories about the Keegan Ale Ram Truck.

I take great care of the engine; it runs great, and the interior is still like new. All of the dents and scratches on the exterior are from me “playing” with it off-road. It is as much fun as it is dependable.

Of course, as you can see in the pictures, this truck is always working. Even when it isn’t hauling kegs and cases or making store runs, this Ram is advertising for Keegan Ales.

All of my staff loves driving it. It looks great and runs great. Plus, it sounds great, too. That truck is known all over town. I am often asked to bring it to events that we sponsor.

So, Tommy Keegan and his crew love having the Ram Truck for work at Keegan Ales. We know you like to put yours to use, too. Let us know how your Ram Truck is there for your business in the comments below, or share your story with us on Real People, Real Trucks.
