Ram Power Wagon Named “Pickup Truck of the Year”

2010 Power Wagon

Calling the 2010 Ram Power Wagon “quite nearly the best of all worlds,” Four Wheeler Editor Douglas McColloch today announced that the truck was the winner of its annual “Pickup Truck of the Year” award, beating out its sibling 2010 Ram 2500HD Cummins, as well as the Ford SVT F-150 and the Toyota Tundra 4.6 (and continuing the accolades earned by the Ram 1500). “Its tall stance and body-on-frame architecture don’t get in the way of delivering a pleasant and relatively quiet highway ride. Its work-truck ethic is belied by its eight-lug axles and 10,000-pound tow rating. And once off the pavement, deep in the dirt, the Power Wagon can simply go places, and do things, that no other fullsize truck on the planet can. Locking differentials, a disconnecting front swaybar, and a 12,000-pound winch — delivered straight from the factory — will do that for you.”
