Full-size trucks are all the rage as overlanders accept the additional running costs for a plethora of benefits. The key advantages of these larger trucks include significantly bigger payload and towing capacity, better-equipped and more comfortable interiors, and higher-output engines. Ram produces a wide range of desirable full-size trucks with their 1500 model being the best seller. However, for live-in builds, many overlanders opt for the heavy-duty 2500 or 3500. We’ve featured several expedition-ready 3500s recently including this 2021 with Aluma Tray and OEV Camper, a 2007 Laramie with V1 XP Camper, and a 2005 with Four Wheel Campers Hawk flatbed. This platform provides a considerable 3,993 to 4,639 pounds of payload, which ensures you can fit a well-equipped camper or habitation box without exceeding the limitations of the vehicle. If you’d like to see how this truck can be outfitted for long-term travel then check out this feature piece on Girl Gone’s 2014 Ram 3500 with 2016 OEV X10 camper. Today’s low-mileage offering (39,999 miles) features a modified 6.7-liter Cummins diesel motor, and premium modifications, and is the perfect blank canvas for an expedition build.
From the Seller:
“I know that aftermarket modifications aren’t generally worth much, but the truck stock is worth almost $30,000 as a trade-in, especially since I have the title in hand. As for trades, I’m only interested in a newish [Ford] F-150 3.5 EcoBoost with low miles.”
