You have to watch and see how quick the new 2019 Power Wagon is.
Which truck is best for you? Is it a new 2019 Ram Rebel or a 2019 Ram Power Wagon? These two truck have about the same price, but they offer different capability. This is a tough decision, but we are making it easier for you.
Here is your guide to decide which truck is best for you based on every measurement: off-road specs, cabin comfort, fuel economy, acceleration, features, and price. Yep, we ran 0-60 MPH tests with these two trucks and put them side by side in a drag race with surprising results.

The new 2019 Rebel has a 5.7L HEMI V8 under the hood with an 8-speed. The 2019 Power Wagon has a 6.4L HEMI V8 and an 8-speed. These two trucks are closer on acceleration than you might think.
First, let’s compare the specifications, and then take a look at the real-world test data that we got for fuel economy and acceleration.
| Power Wagon | Rebel (Crew) | |
| Wheelbase: | 149.3 in | 144.6 in |
| Ground Clearance: | 14.2 in (max) | 10.2 (max) |
| Approach Angle: | 29.4 deg | 19 deg |
| Breakover Angle: | 22 deg | 19.5 deg |
| Departure Angle: | 26 deg | 24.9 deg |
| Turning circle: | 48.2 ft | 46.2 ft |
| Towing Max: | 10,620 lbs | 11,190 lbs |
| Payload Max: | 1,660 lbs | 1,720 lbs |
Strangely, the Rebel crew cab has higher payload and towing ratings than the Power Wagon. Since the Rebel crew has a shorter wheel base, it’s a little more maneuverable. However, the Power Wagon has superior maximum ground clearance and approach/breakover/departure angles.
Now, for the really surprising real-world numbers!
| Power Wagon | Rebel (Crew) | |
| Highway MPG (empty): | 16.5 MPG | 17.8 MPG |
| 0-60 MPH (mile above sea level): | 8.12 sec | 7.53 sec |
The 2019 Power Wagon with the 8-speed automatic transmission showed a much improved highway MPG result. 16.5 MPG is very good for a tall heavy duty truck with off-road tires. The Power Wagon also surprises with a fast acceleration. Still, the Ram 1500 Rebel is better on both fuel economy and acceleration.
