Hey guys, I'm probably asking a question that has been asked a million times, but I didn't see a thread so I started this one.
I was wondering when to 2014 Power Wagon will be available? I'm just about to order a Ram and the Power Wagon is on the list of possibilities, but the RamTrucks.com website doesn't show it as available just yet. Anyone have any scoop?
There is no more Power Wagons for 2014 .. Dodge said not enough sales in 2013 to continue the production of the Model... the EARLIEST is 2015 .. still in rumors ..
Detroit .. Dodge Ram Trucks .. I called them to ask them about the Power Wagon and they told me that due to the sales in 2013 they are CURRENTLY not producing nor supplying the Order Forms to Dodge Ram dealerships at this time, I got the number from the dealership when they came to Ohio to fix my truck's ""Death Wobble"".
.. that's just what I was told.. >.< It could change but that is what the dealerships where telling me and you cant build them of the Ramtruck.com for the 2014.. You never know , if people want them then they'll have to be back in production
First, never believe anything the dealer tells you. They will tell you whatever they can to get you to buy something off their lot. They are also notoriously late on getting info.
As for detroit, unless it was a corporate person they arent going to know anything about when the factory is tooling up and producing, Power Wagon es hencho en Mexico.
I met with the Chrysler Canada associate rep Peter Herbert last weekend at our local dealership, He's trying to talk me into trading my 12 PW on a 14 PW with the 6.4 for racing this year, I would think that's a pretty good indication they are going to build them
A friend of mine works at Chrysler and he hasn't heard anything about discontinuation on Power Wagons - the 2014 model year was slated for some major changes - bigger hemi which is awesome and coil spring rear end - not sure if I like that or not ... maybe this is causing the delay
What I have been told from a family member who works for Chrysler is the gears are now going to be 4.10, the engine will be the 6.4 Hemi and there will be suspension changes.
Also, for us Canadians, dealers will be able to order 2014 Power Wagon's in May

That'll be sweet!!! Hopefully they'll do something cool for the anniversary! Their release date of 4/7/2014 means the 2014 model year will be very short (releasing at a time that's over halfway through the typical model year) heck, I just helped put a lift kit on a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax the other day, LOL! On a side note- if you go on Ram trucks Canada website, you can configure a Power Wagon now!!! :smileup:
That's only a month after the "2014" EcoDiesels, and apparently the same marketing guys were running the ad and information campaigns for both trucks. A bare trickle of information would be overstating it for both trucks.
Damn, the 2014s 1500 are still in production, and somehow they decided to start 2015s in the 2500/3500s already?
What is the base of the 'normal' one? I've mostly seen what looks like Outdoorsman versions I'm guessing, body colored grills. I'm kind of torn about trucks now with the EcoDiesel have a start-stop birth and always having been a 2500 guy just in case I need the payload. Locking axles would be great but not sure worth the cost of the rest of the package. What has the 'usual' charge for the package been?
It isn't up on the US Ram Trucks website but I was able to build a Power Wagon Laramie on the Canadian Ram Trucks website and convert it from CAD to USD. It turned out to be $61,350. I almost had a heart attack when I saw that. I might get an EcoDiesel or Hemi 1500. I only need a 1500 but I wanted a Power Wagon.
Damn, an Outdoorsman with 6.4L, RamBoxes, and almost every option but bigger wheels and sunroof was around 12k less than that. I like lockers but for 12k I could add a rear locker and pocket a LOT of cash. Even adding a winch and the gear swap aftermarket shouldn't be that much.
I received a call today from the dealership, "we can build one when you're ready". I love the billet grille inserts. Not keen on the raptor-esque graphics.
