2017 Ram 2500 Laramie :: Featured Classified

Ram’s lineup of heavy-duty trucks has become synonymous with overlanding in North America, and for good reason. From the factory, they’re well-appointed to endure daily punishment and to transit heavy loads across any terrain. Highlights include an ultra-durable chassis, a bulletproof and powerful Cummins diesel motor, 4WD, solid axles, a considerable payload, and the possibility to specify a limited-slip or rear locking differential. If that wasn’t enough, they’re beloved by the aftermarket with no shortage of parts and accessories available to uprate the platform for exploration. Executive Publisher Scott Brady states, “While the Power Wagon gets all the off-road attention, the 2500 and 3500s have quietly overtaken the #1 seat in the full-size overland segment. With the combination of solid axles, the Cummins motor, and with the aftermarket support of companies like AEV, the Ram has consistently ranked as the most popular big truck for our audience.” To this end, cue today’s meticulously maintained 2017 Ram 2500 Laramie (129,000 miles), which showcases a plethora of premium upgrades and is topped with a Leitner rack system. At $49,950, this turnkey package represents impressive value, especially since the seller discloses that more than $70,000 has been invested (with more than $24,000 in upgrades alone). Further still, it was recently detailed for the new owner, serviced (including oil and fluids), and boasts a clean history with no accidents. This awesome build could be enjoyed as is or serve as a pinnacle platform for a fully equipped camper.

From the Seller:

“This is a thoughtfully built and proven overland platform—not a pieced-together project. Every major upgrade is already installed, saving you time, money, and guesswork. The person who built this rig is one of the owners of a large energy drink company, and this truck used to be wrapped (from new) with the company logos. This was his camping truck, but also a moving advertisement. His intention for building it was to impress. Consequently, this is a no-shortcuts build using premium components, designed for reliability, comfort, and extended off-grid travel. If you’ve been looking for a fully dialed rig without the time and cost of building one yourself, this is it. When not in use, this vehicle is mostly garaged and recently underwent a full interior and exterior detail. There are no known mechanical issues, and it starts, runs, and drives exactly as it should. Serious inquiries only. Ready for its next adventure.”
