    Dodge's Powerwagon concept vehicle shown in 1999, was inspired by the 1946 Dodge model of the same name. The modern pickup truck prototype was built off the Ram chassis and featured 35-inch wheels. At 77-inches high, the Powerwagon was a full three inches taller than the production Ram. Like its 1940s predecessor, the Powerwagon included bumpers, fenders and running boards that were separated from the body. Though it many not appear as such, this was a four-door pickup, with smaller rear doors hinged at the back, and no B-pillar. A 250 horsepower, 7.2-liter diesel in-line six-cylinder was teamed with a four-speed automatic transmission.
