The Ram 2500 is one of the most popular full-size trucks on our forum with recent backcountry-equipped examples including this 2020 Laramie Night Edition with an OEV Camp X, a 2021 Power Wagon 75th Anniversary Edition, and a 2020 Laramie with a Supertramp Flagship LT. Key benefits of this pickup include a powerful and lasting Cummins diesel motor, generous payload and towing capacity, impressive capability, a well-equipped interior, and access to excellent OEM and aftermarket support. It’s for these reasons and more that it’s a popular vehicle within the overlanding community and especially desirable for those living on the road or embarking on long-term trips. Today’s 200 Ram 2500 HD (245,000 miles) showcases tasteful upgrades and is topped with a Jason Caps camper shell. This truck would be a great option for those who need an everyday work vehicle that they can also use at the weekends for adventures and could easily be outfitted with a slide-in camper for bigger trips. If you’d like a better idea of how this full-size pickup can be uprated for overlanding then check out builds from CJC Offroad, Epic Adventures Offroad, and Just Diesels.
From the Seller:
“Outstanding condition. The truck has resided in a dry, high-desert climate since I purchased it from the original owner (another old man). Mindfully operated and vigilantly maintained with longevity in mind. The engine, drivetrain, and foundation are solid and nowhere near used up or stressed.”
