The Power Wagon is powered by a direct injection,
turbocharged Caterpillar 7.2 L in-line 6-cylinder diesel, which is already
capable of meeting the EPA's 2004 diesel emissions ratings while generating
780 foot-pounds of torque. The automaker says The Power Wagon shares the
name but little else with the 1946 workhorse vehicle of the same name.
DaimlerChrysler said the engine was meant as an “overkill statement’ and
it has no plans to make it. The concept truck sports a more refined and
modern design than its predecessor, but details of the design are being
kept under wraps until the auto show. Power Wagons were built from 1946
to 1968 as school buses, tow trucks, emergency vehicles and farm trucks.
