It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for the Prospector. In many ways, it’s excessive and cartoonish but that’s all part of the charm. However, it’s more than just good looks and has been engineered from the ground up by the overlanding experts at AEV (American Expedition Vehicles) to conquer the backcountry. In most cases, trucks are designed with highway miles in mind but the Prospector is a platform optimized for remote exploration. It’s, therefore, a popular option on our forum with recent examples including this 2016, a 2017 Anniversary Edition, and a 2021 XL with a GFC XL. In addition, thanks to the Prospector’s full-size credentials it’s well-suited to heavier campers as demonstrated by dreamy builds from Mo and Hannah, Expedition Superstore, and OK4WD. Today’s 2015 AEV Prospector offering has covered just 50,000-kilometers and features a rare manual transmission, desirable Cummins motor, and premium aftermarket modifications.
From the Seller:
“Offering a very rare, manual, one-of-a-kind, 2015 Ram Laramie Crew Cab with a 6-foot Rambox bed. A local Canadian AEV dealer built diesel Prospector XL, fully loaded, with no accidents, and extremely low kilometers.”
