Interior configurations remain similar to standard models. From 2005 to 2009, the Power Wagon offered a choice between a regular cab with an 8 ft (2.4 m) bed or a Quad Cab (extended cab) with a 6.25 ft (1.9 m) bed on a 140 in (3,556 mm) wheelbase. Special features of the Power Wagon include:
For 1990, the R/V series was reduced in size for a second time, as the 2500-series crew-cab and 3500-series regular-cab chassis trucks were discontinued. Crew-cab models continued in production at Janesville, as the new GMT400 line had lacked a true crew cab since its introduction. Full-size SUVs continued to be produced by Flint.
