Outward visibility is good, in the way that looking out the top of a 10-story building gives you a good view. You can fit five inside in comfort, or six in a pinch if you want to fold up the front seat center armrest, but the front middle seat is not really a comfortable position for anyone to be in for any length of time. And it comes with the standard high-quality Ram interior that the brand is known for, especially in this latest redesign of its big trucks. I’ve seen two-bedroom Tokyo apartments with less space than this cabin - the room inside is just vast. If getting into the Power Wagon is a test of your physical fitness, being in the Power Wagon is more an exercise in comfort. Getting out of it can be equally tricky - you basically fall out and work to control your landing without twisting an ankle or wrenching a knee. The ground clearance of a Power Wagon is 14.2 inches, which is roughly 1-3 inches more than you’d get in other 4× or 3500 models. Walk up, open the door and literally lift yourself up into the cabin via the step rail and grab handle on the A-pillar. There are running boards, but they’re fairly high and tight against the body so as not to impede off-road ground clearance over obstacles.

But I’d not had much experience using the Power Wagon as a daily driver, and despite the lack of fun nights out on the town and random trips to favorite coffee shops lately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was still plenty to do with my week in the ultimate Ram. I’ve already driven the 20 Power Wagon extensively off-road, thrashing it through dunes and dirt at Indiana’s Badlands Off-Road Park in 2019, so if you want to know how it handles such terrain, have a look at this Power Wagon video.
