Commanding Presence, Unrivaled Power: Desert Power Wagons Debuts A
5.9L 24-Valve High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel-Powered 1947 Desert Power Wagon Crew Cab

18 September 2025 by Desert Power Wagons, Castle Hayne, North Carolina

Desert Power Wagons proudly unveils a handcrafted marvel—a bespoke 4-Door Desert Power Wagon finished in rich Nautical Blue Metallic. Completed in April 2025 after more than 2,000 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, this vintage-modern truck is a striking fusion of timeless aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering. Built for both rugged trails and refined streets, it’s a rolling statement piece that commands attention and delivers on performance.

Timeless Design Meets Unmatched Capability
This Tisdale Coachworks crew cab with rear suicide doors reimagines the iconic silhouette of the classic Dodge Power Wagon, now infused with modern luxury and performance. Its Nautical Blue Metallic paint evokes the craftsmanship of a bygone era—beautifully contrasted by gloss black fenders and running boards. An African Sapele wood bed floor with polished stainless slats evokes craftsmanship from another era, while every panel and detail has been designed to blend form and function.

At its core is a 5.9L 24-Valve High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel inline-six delivering 385 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a heavy-duty G56 6-speed manual transmission, this powerhouse is equally at home crawling rocks or cruising the coast.

Engineered to Master Every Terrain
Beneath the sheet metal is Tisdale’s proprietary, fully boxed steel ladder frame built for adventure. Their four-link custom suspension system integrates front and rear King Shocks® 3-inch performance racing coil-over shocks with internal bypass, remote reservoirs, and adjustable compression. Translation? Hardcore trail dominance with highway composure.

Rolling on satin black 20-inch Method Race Wheels® MR301 wheels wrapped in 40-inch Maxxis® Razr® M/T tires, this Desert Power Wagon is ready to roam. With 9.5 inches of travel and a robust NV271 manual-shift transfer case (2WD, 4WD High, and 4WD Low), it delivers mechanical engagement with old-school reliability and modern precision.

Rugged Outside, Refined Within

The cabin features a vintage-inspired Power Wagon dashboard seamlessly integrated with modern tech. Custom square-stitched seats in distressed Buffalo Tan leather anchor the interior, complemented by matching center consoles and door cards. Dakota Digital® gauges, an Atoto® infotainment system, and a JL Audio® + Rockford Fosgate® + Kicker® premium audio setup offer clarity and connection—on or off the grid. Add in Vintage Air® climate control, surround-view cameras, power windows, cruise control, and a Viper® security system with remote start, and you’ve got all the comforts of a luxury SUV in a brawler’s body.
