#9. Want a heavy-duty, hard-core off-roader? Think Power Wagon.

When it comes to heavy-duty full-size pickup trucks, thoughts of hauling or towing pretty much any moveable object come to mind, but we sometimes forget about the hard-core off-roader that is the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Power Wagon. More than just some love-‘em-or-hate-‘em graphics, this rock-crawling Ram variant packs a number of unique features. These include a fuel tank skid plate (in addition to a transfer case skid plate shared with other four-wheel-drive Ram HDs), a heavy-duty alternator, a manual transfer case (other Ram HDs have an electronic shift-on-the-fly system), locking front and rear differentials, a 4.56 axle ratio (others have up to 4.10), a front winch with a 12,000-lb. capacity, a disconnecting front sway bar, and aggressive all-terrain 17-inch tires. Buyers of the Power Wagon can choose between the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, packing 383 horses and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, or the 6.7-liter Cummins six-cylinder diesel, which is good for 350 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque.
