The Prospector is a desirable choice for expedition builds with recent adventure-ready offerings including this 2015, 2021 Mega Cab, and 2022 w/ OEV Camp X. AEV (American Expedition Vehicles) takes the already capable Ram 2500/3500 and overhauls it from the ground up with a range of rigorously tested parts and accessories to optimize it for overland travel (as discussed on the Overland Journal podcast: Deep Dive on the Ram HD AEV Prospector). Cue today’s 2016 Ram 2500 Big Horn Crew Cab AEV Prospector (107,400 miles), which showcases a plethora of top-tier upgrades. At $43,900 OBO, this is one of the best value examples we’ve ever featured and would be an incredible platform for a camper or habitation box. If you’d like a better idea of how this truck performs as an overland companion, then check out the adventures of Lifestyle Overland, The Story Till Now, and FOTORNR. Alternatively, listen to why expedition vehicle builder TruckHouse chose the Prospector for their groundbreaking camper, the BCR, on the Overland Journal podcast (or read Matt Scott’s feature on How The TruckHouse BCR Is Changing the Expedition Vehicle Landscape).
From the Seller:
“This is an AEV Prospector factory conversion built on the RAM 2500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4×4. It’s an amazing truck in excellent condition and has been well-maintained with service records. The truck has been lightly used and rarely towed anything heavy. The miles are mostly highway and it has not had a lot of off-road use. Tags good till October 2025.”
