Read the Full Review | Interior Gallery. If you want the capability of the Ram 2500 Power Wagon without the sky-high price, you can equip a Tradesman with nearly all the same stuff.

A Power Wagon starts north of $76,000, but this Tradesman starts at $56,300. From there, all you need to do is check the options box for the $7,995 Power Wagon package, which bestows upon your truck a bunch of off-road capability without the Power Wagon's love-it-or-hate-it aggro styling.

You're only allowed to equip this combination on trucks with a crew cab and a short bed. You still get the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, which makes 405 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque.

A word of warning, though: The Power Wagon package also mandates the $2,295 Tradesman Level 1 Equipment package, so that eight-grand outlay is more like an even $10,000.
