They made the 2017 Power Wagon Look just like a Rebel. I'm really liking it.

wonder what price difference is with rebates and all

 

[texas_rebel]

If it's like the 2016s.. Not much

 

[RED_5]

A little bigger then the Rebel.

You know what really erks me in that picture? They both have the black beveled headlamps.....

 

[johnj]

Heheh. They probably installed those lights on this concept truck quite a while ago. Whether they'll be able to get the lights in production is another story.

AutoBlog's got some really nice pics in much higher resolution. From a lot more angles, too. Winch in the front bumper, 6.4 Hemi standard, no diesel option, different wheels, interior similar, manual shifting for transfer case/locks, and more.

it sure is a nice looking truck with a winch......damn it.....

 

[johnj]

not like you missed an opportunity, it won't be out until late this year.

That is indeed a nice truck but I can only imagine what the price would be, way more than what I spent on my Rebel. Oh well if the lottery commission deems me worthy of a jackpot I might invest in one but until then going to be driving my current truck for a very long time which isn't a bad thing.

What a great looking truck. My only beef is that 6.4L V8. I've had two of those, and it is a thirsty pig of an engine. Cylinder deactivation? Maybe in sealed lab conditions. In the real world, my eco light never lit up. The truck needs either the 8-speed transmission or a diesel option.

I like that they're following GM's lead and making the Duratrac available from factory. A little noisy, but it's a great tire.

Nicely loaded 2016 PWs are currently just under $50k CDN, so figure 2% mark up from year to year, plus an extra markup due to dismal exchange rate; I'm guessing one of these with all the options will still hover around $50k CDN. Not bad. Will have to order one for the fleet.

 

[army15q]

does anyone know if the 2017 Rebel will be different?????

 

[lambeau]

It's not just in the pic. He specifically said "with black bezels" during the live reveal just now.
Interesting.

 

[iamsuperdan]

If I was to guess, I'd say minor trim differences. Maybe some new colour options. Maybe a tire change? Now that the PW is getting Duratracs, and have the seats to match, they may offer that in the Rebel? I wouldn't think there will be any major changes for 2017. If I recall from my last meeting with FCA fleet, 2018 is the big change year for Ram 1500.

cool thanks for the info

If the power wagon looked like that and it didn't add that much to the price I am going to pay for the Rebel I would have considered the PW more. I love everything about the PW except the huge engine and bench seat. If I could get power buckets and the 5.7 HEMI I'd have gotten the PW for the off-road capabilities. I really don't need more than a 1/2 ton though.

I love that they made it look like the Rebel. Makes the Rebel look like the PW's not so little brother. Now if only they would trickle down some of the cool Power Wagon features like the winch option to our beloved Rebels.

 

[army15q]

the winch and the Cab lights!

RAM REBEL BIG XL BROTHER....SEXY. THING HAS GOTTA BE LIKE 70K fully loaded tho!

 

[RustedRebel]

Think they should call in the Power Rebel Wagon

 

[johnj]

RAM REBEL BIG XL BROTHER....SEXY. THING HAS GOTTA BE LIKE 70K fully loaded tho!

Nah, a pretty loaded 2016 PW is only around $54,000. That's with sunroof, but no rambox and no tunneau, and a single 220A alternator. Most other options included. I just did a quick config on the ramtruck site. I can't see them bumping the price 17k. Winch and the cab lights in my config because they're aren't config options on the 2016.

I don't foresee Ram upping that price by $16k and selling any.

the wheels in the brain are turning..... wonder what the MPG is on the wagon
