'27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

[redthies]

Buying a new truck is cerebral overload these days. I’m still loving the basic “loaded” Power Wagon I have. It’s an SLT or Laramie, but 2005 flavor, so just heated leather and then the rest is today’s Tradesman more or less.

And they still couldn't figure out how to add a winch.

Its really wild in all this time no one has ever been able to affix a winch to a cummin truck. Some things are just beyond mans imagination and engineering

The aftermarket has figured it out and it’s tucked away hidden like the factory winch on a hemi. Downside is it’s a 12k winch so you really need a snatch block for serious self recovery with a heavy truck.

I’m guessing it won’t be quite as capable off-road as the gas version. Massive amount of weight on the front end and stiffer rear suspension to address payload. Pretty neat option for that guy that wants it all though

Funny thing is my aftermarket 3" lift Diesel springs are the same p/n as the gas power wagon springs...

my gasser power wagon pulls my travel trailer just fine,and I have a canopy and a bedslide in the box so payload doesn't factor in,I tow myoffroad toys on a trailer.Ihave zero desire for a diesel,never did.

Agreed that the ~1500lb payload on a PW is pretty pathetic. But if the added weight is kept in check, it can be one hell of an awesome PW.

Curious what y'all are trying to tow with a petrol PW that weighs over 10k; construction equipment?
