In case you think Ram only focuses on Hemi engines these days, the truck manufacturer has just revealed that Power Wagon enthusiasts will finally receive what they've been requesting for years: Cummins diesel power. The 6.7-liter high-output diesel will be offered for the 2027 model year, along with several other upgrades for those who want their trucks to be versatile.
“Customers have been asking us for years to equip the Power Wagon with a Cummins engine,” said Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis in the company's announcement. “Our recent product launches demonstrate that Ram is providing customers with options and the trucks they want. Pairing the Power Wagon with the Cummins turbo diesel offers everything our dedicated Ram fans are looking for: off-road capability combined with the best diesel in the heavy-duty segment. It’s the Power Wagon they’ve been anticipating.”
In line with Ram’s bold approach, the Cummins Power Wagon will deliver a class-leading 1,075 pound-feet of torque along with a relatively modest (though almost unbelievable to say) 430 horsepower. Ram claims that with its 31-gallon fuel tank, the Power Wagon can achieve up to 600 miles on a single tank of gas. Additionally, a new load-leveling rear air suspension option will make loading for long trips somewhat easier.
Ram assures that the Cummins-powered truck will maintain most of the features that make the Power Wagon appealing to its owners, including solid front and rear axles and electronic locking differentials. The new rear differential provides a 3.42:1 final drive ratio and 38mm axle shafts, which are designed to power those 20-inch wheels fitted with 34-inch all-terrain tires. Today's tire-and-lube technicians must be in great shape.
Rest assured, Ram did not have to compromise any key features to bring the diesel Power Wagon to fruition. It retains the same off-road capabilities (13.2 inches of ground clearance along with a 26.1-degree approach angle, a 26.0-degree departure angle, and a 20.6-degree breakover angle) and is equipped with ample protection for those rugged adventures. Standard equipment includes rock rails and under-body skid plates to safeguard the DEF tank, fuel tank, and transfer case.
The 2027 Power Wagon will launch alongside the resurrected Ram 1500 (now SRT!) TRX this summer, in what Kuniskis has promised will be a transformative year for the brand. We eagerly await what comes next.
