"Power Wagon" Who named these, some 5yo? What about the "Cool Machine", " Fast Cruiser", "Speed Demon"? You can have those for 20%.

The Power Wagon name goes all the way back to a WW2 military transport manufactured by Dodge (i.e., a powered wagon in army parlance).

It's dumb, but there ya go.

Power Wagon is an old badge, dating back to the 40's. I believe it was the first 4x4 civilian truck... I'm likely wrong. The heavy duty versions were called Power Giants.
