This PowerWagon Concept doesn't have a Cummins in it. It has 6 cylinder Caterpillar that runs on a real low sulfur special diesel fuel. It does have a winch as shown above. I am not sure if it is pto/hydraulic or electric or even if it works. Drivetrain is nothing spectacular with maybe 3/4 ton axles at best.
If you look at the overall body very carfully, the new Durnago has a similar look with actual fenders much like this and a traditional Power wagon.
I did try to pull a few favors to see if I could get an appearance of this Prototype at Fairfield but it didn't work out. I'll keep trying as I think it would be really neat on DaimlerChrysler's part to show it to the people who would really appreciate it...
Has this truck been to Fairfield and the Rally?
