The Power Wagon is a pinnacle choice for off-grid exploration. Recent adventure-equipped offerings include this 2005, 2012, and 2022 w/ Enduro Camper. It’s one of a select few full-size pickups engineered from the factory with the backcountry in mind, incorporating impressive hardware and intelligent onboard assists to tackle the toughest terrain. Automotive expert Chris Cordes states, “Since its inception over 71 years ago, the Power Wagon has been a leader in the four-wheel-drive truck market. Its respectable payload, standard winch, and off-road prowess have made it a backcountry favorite for civilian and government roles alike; and while it may have changed a bit since 1945, its rugged go-anywhere attitude has not.” Cue today’s 2016 Ram Power Wagon (153,xxx miles), which showcases premium modifications and a Four Wheel Campers Hawk Shell. Further still, this is not a proof-of-concept but rather a real-world proven package that has explored all 47 states and beyond. Subsequently, at $37,000, it represents an impressive value and would be an awesome turnkey rig to hit the road in 2026. It’s worth noting that the transmission was replaced at 60,000 miles and the engine long block at 102,000 miles.
From the Seller:
“The rig is currently in southern Baja, but will be returning to Rogers, Arkansas, by February 15. This truck has traveled to 47 states and all of Baja. It has been our do-it-all truck for over six years, but we are changing our travel style, and we aren’t using it to its fullest. We originally had a Go Fast Camper but wanted a bit more room for longer adventures. The Hawk shell is a lot lighter than a fully outfitted camper, and it has not limited our overland abilities. There is a simple storage system inside and tie-down rails to secure gear. The truck and camper are well-used, with scratches on the truck and a couple of small dents on the camper. Will not separate truck and camper.”
