I love rigs that blend everyday practicality with classic charm and today’s Ram 2500 is a great example. Powered by the legendary 6.7-liter Cummins diesel and featuring a plethora of desirable aftermarket upgrades (including front and rear lockers) this is the perfect do-it-all truck, whether you’re looking for a daily driver, commercial workhorse, weekend recreation vehicle, or a dedicated overland rig. In addition, due to its full-size credentials, it’s a great platform for a full expedition build-out as demonstrated by builds from Overland Lady and BDS Suspension. Expedition Portal has also featured several stunning adventure-ready examples including this 2005 with a Four Wheel Camper and Andre’s 2001 Cummins diesel with a Hiatus camper. Today’s low-mileage (113,000 miles) 2009 Ram 2500 showcases many upgrades and is topped with a GFC topper.
From the Seller:
“This truck is as tough as coffin nails. It will get you anywhere you want to go, let you tow just about anything, and can be loaded with more gear than you probably need. Every time you park it you will turn around, look at it, and think that looks [sub positive expletive of your choice].”
