This 2018 RAM 2500 Laramie 4×4 is a heavily modified expedition-ready overland build featuring a Cummins turbo-diesel powertrain, an AEV Prospector XL conversion, and a fully integrated overland living setup built between October 2025 and January 2026 with less than 3,000 miles since completion. Offered at $135,000 and located in Portland, Oregon, this Crew Cab RAM pairs a 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel with extensive reliability upgrades, upgraded driveline components, and an expedition-focused chassis featuring AEV suspension, 39-inch tires, an Australian MITS aluminum flatbed, and a fully equipped Four Wheel Campers Hawk flatbed camper. With over $175,000 invested in the build, this turnkey overland rig is designed for long-range off-grid travel and self-contained adventure.
- Heavy-Duty Overland Platform: The fourth-generation RAM 2500 platform built its reputation on durability, towing capability, and diesel torque, making it a popular foundation for serious expedition builds. In Laramie trim, this Crew Cab configuration combines luxury interior appointments with heavy-duty off-road capability and factory features such as the Off-Road Package with hill descent control and skid protection.
- Cummins Diesel Power: Power comes from a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel inline-six paired with the 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system. Reliability-focused upgrades include a Banks Killer Grid Heater upgrade, Ram-Air intake, ECU tuning with map switch capability, upgraded cooling components, and a high-flow exhaust system designed to improve long-term durability and performance.
- AEV Prospector XL Overland Conversion: This truck has been extensively modified with an AEV Prospector XL-style build featuring a 3-inch AEV DualSport XP suspension system with Bilstein reservoir shocks, AEV HighMark flares, AEV Katla wheels, and an AEV front bumper with stinger and integrated WARN 16.5tiS winch. Additional off-road hardware includes ARB air lockers, Yukon 4.10 gears, BFGoodrich KO3 39-inch all-terrain tires, a Titan 52-gallon fuel tank, and expedition-grade lighting from VisionX and Morimoto.
- Expedition-Ready Interior and Electronics. Inside, the Laramie trim provides heated and ventilated seating, an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, navigation, and premium audio. Overland-specific upgrades include an Auxbeam Bluetooth-controlled switch system for lighting and air systems, GMRS radio readiness, AMP Research Power Step XL running boards, and extensive electrical integration for expedition systems.
- Clean Oregon History. According to the CARFAX report, this RAM shows no accidents or structural damage reported, two owners, and 16 service records with consistent maintenance performed during its life in Oregon. The current owner completed the comprehensive overland build in late 2025 and describes the truck as designed for long-term, low-maintenance travel and dependable off-grid living.
Purpose-built expedition trucks like this are rarely assembled to this level of detail. Combining the durability of the Cummins-powered RAM 2500 with premium AEV hardware, a lightweight MITS flatbed, and a fully optioned Four Wheel Campers Hawk camper, this build represents a turnkey solution for extended overland travel. For buyers seeking a professionally executed diesel overland rig capable of self-contained exploration anywhere in North America, this RAM stands ready.
