The Power Wagon was developed from the WW II Dodge WC series. For the 1981 model year, "Power Ram" became the marketing logo for the medium-duty Dodge trucks, and the "Power Wagon" name was not used until the 2004 revival. The "Power Wagon" options continued on the Dodge D-Series through the 1980 model year. The "Military Type" sales in the United States ended by 1968, because the vehicle did not comply with new federal light-duty truck regulations. The four-wheel-drive version of the Dodge Town Wagon also got the "Power Wagon" badge.
The heavy-duty four-wheel-drive W-300 and W-500 trucks were marketed as "Power Giants". Later the "Military Type" was given the series number W-300M, and ultimately WM-300. The older design Power Wagon was marketed as the "Military Type" to distinguish it from the styled pickup versions. The pickups had the "Power Wagon" badge on the fender. Starting in the 1957 model year, factory four-wheel-drive versions of the Dodge C Series trucks were produced and sold as the W-100, W-200, W-300, and W-500, alongside the older Power Wagon. Following Chrysler Corporation policy of badge engineering to provide a greater number of sales outlets overseas, Power Wagons were also marketed around the world under the Fargo and De Soto badges. Until about 1960 it was internally known by its engineering code T137 – a name still used for the original series by enthusiasts. It represents a significant predecessor to the many modern four-wheel drive trucks in use today.
The Power Wagon was the first 4x4 medium duty truck produced by a major manufacturer in a civilian version. The original civilian version, commonly called the "flat fender" Power Wagon (FFPW) or "Military Type", was mechanically based on Dodge's 3/4-ton WC series of World War II military trucks. As a nameplate, "Power Wagon" continues as a special package of the four-wheel drive version of 3/4 ton Ram Trucks 2500 model. The Power Wagon name was revived for the 2005 model year as a four-wheel drive version of the Dodge Ram 2500.
