Selling my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon located in Santa Fe, NM. Asking 17K OBO.
Here's a great article on what makes a 3rd Gen Power Wagon so special, plus a video I did about the truck for Outside Magazine:

-Undercarriage skid plates for steering damper, transfer case and fuel tank.

The 3rd generation Power Wagon is the most sought after for its combination of 4.56 gears and the 5.7 hemi. Overall global production numbers for 3rd generation Power Wagon 2005-2009 was 6,163. There are very few of these trucks left. Mine came with all of the options, including the factory rock sliders, as well as the Power Wagon recovery bag and gloves, which is a bit of a collectors item these days.
This truck has 124,774 miles on it and is in good shape for the year (normal scuffs and light scratches typical of a 16-year-old truck). It’s a New Mexico truck so there’s no rust, but there is some sun fading on the hood and roof, where the clear coat is peeling (typical spots for Dodge trucks of the era).
Mechanically the truck is in good shape. I’ve done quite a bit of work to it and have receipts and maintenance logs (also have the previous owners' maintenance records). Recent work includes:
- new fuel evaporative canister
- new exhaust manifold studs
- new fuel pump
- new spark plugs
- new injectors
- new ball joints at 90k miles
- new transmission at 70k miles
- new battery at 115K
- full synthetic oil change at 124k
- Fresh detail
I've also added the following to the truck:
- 35x12.5in Toyo ATiii tires (they've got about 10-15k miles on them)
- Decked drawer system
- Softtopper canvas camper shell
- lightforce HTX2 driving lights
- New pioneer deck with Apple CarPlay and integrated backup and front camera
- locking tailgate
- soft open tailgate
- redarc trailer brake controller
- mountain hatch tailgate cover
- husky floor liners
- midland radio
- VIAR on board air compressor system with in-cab controls (allows you to easily air up your tires, run air tools, etc.)
- Thuren front track bar
- Fox 2.0 shocks front and rear
I've kept up with regular maintenance and addressed issues as they've come along (see the list above), and have addressed just about everything that the truck needed except for a slight rear axle seal leak. With all of the additions the truck feels much more modern. It’s absolutely unstoppable off road, and if you’re looking for an overlanding or hunting/camping/off road truck, it’s tough to beat this one.
