The concept power wagon was nice but it ran off some exotic hydrogen diesel fuel. Dodge made a 180 from the concept they had to this BS. Sad part is both of these trucks are covered in plastic. Where will thiese 'half composite' trucks be 50 years from now?

No one is immune. If Madison Avenue knows anything it's that men think with their privates.

The Dodge Power Wagon was not always a 1 ton 4x4 military truck. Power Wagon's were were build up to the mid 80's as either a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton 4x4 built.

Why does so many go off on using older known names? Man, if they want to use Hemi, Power Wagon, GTO, Boss. Mach 1 or what ever, it is their right to.

It is kind of crappy to disgrace an older name by putting it on new stuff when the new stuff doesn't back up what the name implies. It's a sell-out, having to use older names when that's the only similarity between the vehicles.
