2027 Ram Power Wagon Gets Cummins Diesel And Changes Everything

Ram fans have been asking for this combination for years, and now it is finally here. The 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel is not a compromise truck. It is a statement. Ram took its most off road capable full size pickup and paired it with the legendary 6.7 liter Cummins High Output turbo diesel inline six, creating a machine built for people who genuinely use their trucks far beyond pavement.

Under the hood, the Cummins diesel delivers 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 pound feet of torque. That torque is available low in the power band, which matters when you are crawling over rocks, pulling a heavy trailer, or heading deep into remote terrain. This engine has earned its reputation over decades, and in the Power Wagon it finally feels like the pairing customers always imagined.

What makes this truck special is that Ram did not dilute the Power Wagon identity. The locking front and rear differentials are still here, the electronic disconnecting sway bar remains standard, and the solid axles front and rear are tuned for articulation rather than showroom numbers. Bilstein monotube shocks help control the weight of the diesel while still allowing the suspension to move freely off road. It feels engineered, not adapted.

The transmission plays a big role in how usable the truck feels. The TorqueFlite Heavy Duty 8 speed automatic uses a 3.42 axle ratio that balances towing confidence with highway comfort. Lower gears feel strong and deliberate, while the higher gears keep engine speed down when cruising. With a 31 gallon fuel tank, Ram estimates roughly 600 miles of range, which overlanders and long distance travelers will appreciate immediately.

Visually, the truck looks exactly how it should. Satin Black 20 inch wheels wrapped in 34 inch all terrain tires fill the wheel arches with purpose. Skid plates protect critical components like the fuel tank, transfer case, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid system. The sport performance hood and Cummins fender badging make it clear this Power Wagon is different before it even moves.

Inside, the cabin balances toughness with comfort. Buyers can choose a heated cloth bench seat for a more work focused setup or step up to heated and ventilated leather trimmed bucket seats. The available Level 2 Equipment Group adds leather wrapped touchpoints in places you actually interact with, which makes long drives feel less fatiguing. Technology is modern without being overwhelming, anchored by the 12 inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with an available upgrade to a massive 14.5 inch display.

This Power Wagon is not just about trails. It can tow nearly 20,000 pounds and handle close to 3,000 pounds of payload. For the first time, fifth wheel and gooseneck preparation is available, along with Automatic Leveling Rear Air Suspension. That opens the door for campers, work trailers, and serious toys without sacrificing ride quality.

The 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel arrives in the second half of 2026 with a starting price of $88,470 including destination. It is not cheap, but it is honest. This is the Power Wagon many people have been waiting for, built without shortcuts and without apologies.
