We’ve had a number of Ram 3500 listed to the forum recently including this 2004 Cirrus Camper, a 2005 with a Four Wheel Camper’s Hawk, and a 2020 Norweld touring setup. These full-size trucks are prized for their generous payload and towing capacity (up to 3,186-pound payload and 7,900-pound towing capacity), powerful and long-lived motors, and comfortable interiors. Thanks to excellent aftermarket support, there’s a wide selection of parts and accessories available to further uprate the Ram 3500 for adventure. If you’d like a better idea of this vehicle’s backcountry credentials, check out the builds from Method Race Wheels and CJC Off Road. Today’s 1997 offering has covered just 77,000 miles and features premium modifications and is topped with an Alaskan camper.
From the Seller:
“Reasons why I love the rig: the simplicity and dependability of the Cummins, which is well suited for backcountry or south-of-the-border travel; the Alaskan camper just feels like camping with Grandpa; the side storage boxes allow you to overpack gear and bring the kitchen sink with you.”
