One more vote for the Cummins. The Power Wagon is sweet, but who really uses it for what it's made for? I know I wouldn't be doing any serious offroading in a $40K+ truck! A "normal" 2500 with a Cummins is just more practical.

maybe its because im just reckless but hell yeah id take that power wagon down some pipelines and through some serious ****. id definantly use it for what it was designed for. put some 40 inch boggers on that thing with some low *** gears (5.56s or lower) and id take it through every mud hole in my area with confidence. about the only place i wouldnt take it is alto, texas. any of yall who have been there know how awesome it is up there and how bad some of the mud is. ive seen HUGE trucks get stuck so bad out there that they cant get them out. they just have to leave them. hell i hesitate to bring my four wheeler up there because you almost always break something.
the 2 reasons the power wagon does not come with a diesel are because its an offroad vehicle specifically designed to go through bad mud and rough terrain and diesels as stated before arent that good off road generally speaking. the other reason is because the intercooler on the diesel interferes with where the winch is mounted on the power wagon.
Disappointig. I'd love to get a Power Wagon (and I'd use the hell out it), but all this time I thought you could get it with a cummins. Just checked Dodge's website and nope, no Cummins option. Damn
