The Ram 2500 is one of the most popular full-size trucks on our forum, with recent adventure-equipped builds including this 1999, 2021 Crew Cab, and 2021 AEV Prospector XL. From the factory, this full-size platform is well-appointed for heavy-duty commercial applications, featuring a range of powerful motors, 4WD capability, and considerable payload. Add into the mix huge aftermarket support, and this chassis can be transformed into a legitimate around-the-world expedition rig. It was for these reasons and more that it featured in our Full-Size Truck of the Year, with Scott Brady stating, “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.” There’s no shortage of overland-ready 2500s online with inspiring builds from the likes of Enduro Campers, Epic Adventures Offroad, and Asheville Vehicle Outfitters. Cue today’s 2015 Ram 2500 4×4 Crew Cab (146,xxx miles), which showcases premium modifications, a Hillsboro flatbed and a custom Bison Camper. At $52,500, this package is an impressive value, considering the time and money invested. Learn more about this truck at tahoeadventuretrex.com.
From the Seller:
“This camper/truck combo is designed to get out there and explore. An adaptable design works well for changing seasons and activities. It can easily find a home at a campground with hookups to live comfortably. Or, you can rely on the solar panel, BMS, and the truck’s connection to stay off grid, all while ‘roughing it.’ Three can sleep in the camper with two up top in the cabover ‘RV queen’ and one on the twin-sized convertible dinette. There’s plenty of storage inside the camper, thanks to the Vice Customs cabinetry. The storage continues all around the flatbed in lockable storage boxes and throughout the interior of the truck. You’ll be able to stay warm, dry, and cozy in almost any condition. We’ll consider separating the truck and camper.”
