January 1, 2026 , Windsor, Ontario – Customers asked, and Ram delivered. Today, Ram debuted the first-ever 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel in “Resurrection,” a short film hosted by Tim Kuniskis, Head of American Brands, SRT Performance, NA Marketing and Retail Strategy.
Powered by the legendary 6.7-litre Cummins HO turbo diesel inline-six engine, this new Power Wagon produces 430 horsepower and a best-in-class base diesel torque of 1,075 lb.-ft. – while retaining its title as the most off-road-capable full-size pickup.
As the latest step in Ram’s assertive product plan, the Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel expands Ram’s halo truck portfolio, combining proven Cummins power with unmatched towing capability, extended range and off-road performance for those customers that wish to push further into the unknown.
“Customers have been telling us for years to put the Cummins in the Power Wagon,” said Kuniskis. “And if our recent product announcements have shown anything, it’s that Ram is giving customers a choice and the trucks they want. Matching the Power Wagon with the Cummins turbo diesel delivers everything our hardcore Ram fans expect: off-road capability with the best diesel in the HD segment. It’s the Power Wagon they’ve been waiting for.”
The Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel arrives in the second half of 2026. Pricing is to be announced closer to launch date.
Bringing Diesel Capability to the Power Wagon
Bringing Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel to market is the latest milestone in the model’s storied history, with a legacy and fierce following dating back to 1945.
Like its gas-powered counterpart, the 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel sports underbody skid plates—protecting the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank, fuel tank and transfer case. To balance heavy hauling and off-road prowess, Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel sports 20-inch Satin Black wheels with machined accents and 34-inch all-terrain tires.
The newest variant in Ram’s off-road truck lineup retains solid front and rear axles with class-exclusive locking differentials, activated by electromagnetic actuators (E-lockers). When disengaged, the rear locker functions as a mechanical anti-slip differential, enhancing passive grip. Built by American Axle Manufacturing, the axles measure 235 millimetres (9.25 inches) in the front and 292 millimetres (11.5 inches) in the rear, delivering power via a 3.42:1 ring and pinion ratio. Robust rear axle shafts are upgraded to 38 mm, providing rotating force directly to the 34-inch tire/wheel combination.
The entire Ram Heavy Duty lineup features an advanced three-link front suspension to ensure roll stiffness. The Ram Power Wagon packages a unique-to-model design with Bilstein monotube shocks and a class-exclusive electronic disconnecting sway bar, which allows the front axle to move more independently of the truck’s frame for improved articulation and overall off-road capability.
The rear axle features Ram’s class-exclusive five-link coil suspension, also cushioned by Bilstein monotube shocks and coil springs, including a Bilstein dampener connecting the rear axle to the frame for even more control and stability. This superior design offers improved ride quality and articulation compared to traditional leaf springs, balancing payload capability with ride comfort. Available class-exclusive Automatic-Leveling Rear Air Suspension takes comfort and capability a step further.
To optimize the diesel’s torque delivery, the 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel adopts the 3.42 axle ratio introduced on the 2025 Ram Heavy Duty lineup. Paired with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission, this setup returns a higher final drive ratio in gears one through six for confident towing performance and acceleration, and a lower ratio in gears seven and eight for improved highway fuel economy and less noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
A standard 117-litre fuel tank enables an estimated 1,555-km (966-mile) range, ideal for overlanders looking to spend days off the beaten path.
Powerful Presence
The 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel is available in a 4X4 crew cab configuration with a six-foot, four-inch bed. The truck delivers a 24.6-degree approach angle and 25.5-degree departure angle. Strategic underbody packaging yields 320-millimetres (12.6-inches) of ground clearance and a 19.7-degree breakover angle, complimented by standard Mopar® accessory rock rails to protect the cab and chassis.
The Power Wagon features a now iconic exterior design, blending function and performance for an aggressive, instantly recognizable look. Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel comes standard with an aggressive sport performance hood, hinting at the best-in-class base diesel torque that lies beneath. Additional styling cues include functional wheel arch extensions that protect the fenders and body from trail damage, standard Power Wagon bedside graphics and Satin Black accents, including Cummins badging on the front fenders.
Optional exterior upgrades include body-colour door handles, extended LED lighting for the cab and bed and the class-exclusive RamBox cargo management system for added secure storage during outdoor adventures. Buyers can also option class-exclusive heated power convex trailer tow mirrors with power-folding, power-telescoping and memory functionality.
Class-Leading Comfort and Technology
Inside, the 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel offers the same best-in-class interior found across the Ram Heavy Duty lineup, with premium materials and craftsmanship throughout. For buyers seeking a more utilitarian setup, a heated cloth bench seat is available as standard, with the option to upgrade to heated and ventilated leather-trimmed bucket seats. The Power Wagon Level 2 Equipment Group adds extended leather touchpoints for an elevated experience, including the grab handles and column shifter.
Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel comes equipped with advanced, standard technology and safety features, including a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment system, integrated trailer brake controller, ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic gridlines, and ParkSense front and rear park assist. Advanced safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-spot Monitoring with trailer coverage, Pedestrian Detection, and Rear Cross Path Detection also come standard.
Optional upgrades include a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment system, class-exclusive Front Passenger Interactive Display, trailer tow and off-road info pages, and premium amplified audio systems from Alpine (9-speaker) or Harman Kardon (17-speaker).
A Towing and Payload Powerhouse
With a tow rating of nearly 9,072 kilograms (20,000 pounds) and a payload capacity of almost 1,360 kilograms (3,000 pounds), the 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel is built to haul everything from ATVs and side-by-sides to bed storage systems, drop-in campers and trailers.

Automatic-Leveling Rear Air-Suspension maintains a level stance under heavy loads and incorporates a Bed Lowering Mode for effortless trailer hook-up.
Power Wagon History
The Power Wagon nameplate debuted in 1945 and remained in production through 1980. Early trucks were based on the Weapons Carrier (WC) series of Dodge ¾-ton military-use trucks built during World War II. The Power Wagon went on to become a well-known civilian vehicle and continued the lineage of Dodge four-wheel-drive trucks from the 1930s, proving basic four-wheel-drive design concepts and representing a significant predecessor to the many four-wheel-drive trucks in modern use today. The iconic truck was reintroduced in 2005 and now exists as an independent model.
