2015 Ram 2500 Crew Cab AEV Prospector XL w/ AT Summit Topper :: Featured Classified

Full-size trucks are a popular choice for overlanding. Unlike their midsize counterparts, they have the power, structural strength, and payload to safely accommodate a full build-out, supplies, and passengers (check out this deep dive on the Overland Journal Podcast). There’s no shortage of full-size pickups within the segment that are suitable for overland travel, but far fewer match the backcountry prowess of the American Expedition Vehicles’ (AEV) Prospector XL. Coined the “North American Unimog,” this behemoth from AEV reimagines the already capable Ram 2500/3500 with a plethora of in-house backcountry-focused upgrades that either meet or exceed OEM quality and safety standards. The result is one of the most desirable off-the-shelf expedition platforms money can buy and a vehicle that goes above and beyond what we expect from a travel vehicle. Highlights include 40-inch tires, a lifted and uprated dual-sport suspension, regear to 5.13, heavy-duty bumpers, a raised air intake, winch, auxiliary lighting, and much more. To this end, cue today’s low-mileage 2015 Ram 2500 Crew Cab AEV Prospector XL (36,688 miles), which boasts premium aftermarket modifications and is topped with a well-appointed AT Summit Topper. At $63,500, this package represents exceptional value since the seller discloses that the total build cost exceeded $131,000 (reference a full cost breakdown here). So, if you’re looking for a heavily discounted Prospector that’s available now with no lead time, this rig is for you.

From the Seller:

“This meticulously maintained Ram will go just about anywhere and the camper sets up in minutes. It started out as an AEV Prospector but was later taken back to AEV for the XL upgrade in 2020, which alone cost over $13,000. This truck is turnkey ready for adventure with a fully equipped AT Summit Topper, Goose Gear build out, Solar, Starlink, and more. Reference the zip file with full details and costs here. This has been an amazing rig and seen a lot of the country. It has very low miles, but is driven daily, so the miles will increase. I am the original owner with a clean title in hand.”
