The Ram 2500 is a favorite on our forum, with recent examples including this 2020 with an OEV Camp X, 2021 Power Wagon 75th Anniversary Edition, and 2020 with a Supertramp Flagship LT camper. The popularity of this full-size pickup for overland travel is perhaps no surprise, thanks to its 4WD capability, generous payload, well-equipped interior, and desirable Cummins diesel motor. As more people transition to remote work and long-term trips, there’s been a significant uptick in full-size platforms such as the 2500, which are better suited to fully equipped campers (as discussed by Scott Brady in Full-size Revolution). Cue today’s 2004 Ram 2500 (241,xxx miles), which showcases tasteful modifications and is topped with a Four Wheel Campers’ Hawk. If you’d like to better understand how this truck performs as a rolling home, check out the adventures of Epic Adventures Offroad, Juniper Overland, and Rebel Outdoors.
From the Seller:
“With a heavy heart, we must part with our dream Four Wheel Camper setup. We have rolled about 7,000 miles in this flatbed Hawk and 2004 Dodge Ram combo. We’ve weathered wind, rain, and more wind and enjoyed so many beautiful sunny days roaming between California and the Midwest. The truck’s Cummins diesel engine is one of the most reliable on the market, so it will get you there as well as give you the comfort you can’t find in a rooftop tent setup alone. As seasoned travelers and camping veterans, this combination beats a pull behind any day. Relaxing under the awning or having the option to cook indoors during inclement weather can’t be beat.”
