2024 RAM 2500 AEV Prospector XL With Bilstein 8100 Suspension Upgrade!

[@gwendolynbrown9386]

This truck looks like a huge giant! Great video with good information !!

[@garrettm949]

Almost went this route. Industry friend has a dealer that sells more of these than post. Drove his person 2500 and it was such a dog. I will preface by saying I am a huge AEV fan but that cummins and 6 speed is so slow. Ended up with a f350 which just smokes it. Towing is a toss up.. though I think the cummins pulls super well. Another buddy of ours has 3x prospector XLs hes building into campers for clients and he drove our tremor on 37s and was like damn that truck is fast. Plus until 2024 there was no locker, whereas the tremors had a rear locker and limited slip up front. If only aev made parts for the fords. Regardless these AEV rams are stunning. Their stuff is so legit.

That’s one beautiful truck. Damn, it’s beautiful. Miles out of my price range but to be honest if I had the money I’d buy it… but I would try and do it with a 5500 so I could have a flatbed and a truck camper to have the bigger payload to carry it. But that’s one big $200k dream 😂. I’ve always loved the looks of the AEV product though. 👍🏾🤘🏾 you and the fam have a blessed Christmas brother!

No center console is a big miss for me. I hate bench seating in the front. What were they thinking….

[@justintryba]

I’ll tell you what they were thinking they take the lowest trim put 15k worth up stuff into it and mark it up 30k

[@rsbreeze]

Yeah but you can put a stand up gun rack on the floor board.

[@adm7890]

Bench seat ? That's what pickups are all about, buddy

[@NoLimitsCommemorativ]

Center consoles suck, especially from a safety and overlanding standpoint. In the case of a roll-over or accident, it provides easier access to exit the vehicle. Also, it allows you to take more adequate cover without putting yourself in the line of fire while being viewed through the windshield or windows as you're trying to move over that hunk of junk and grab your rifle of choice. Bench seats are the only option, and maybe my PTSD has me think differently when it comes to purchasing vehicles.

[@hellkitty1014]

That truck has insane presence. AEV has top-quality fabrication and installation on their products, so at least you're somewhat getting your monies worth. In my area, HD AT4X AEVs are going for $120K+(as are Denali Ultimates), so this isn't as tough of a pill to swallow as it seems at first glance, especially when you consider all of the kit they've added.

[@meadmaker4525]

The truck looks great, but I'm amazed they put 40s on there without any steering stabilizers. They're just asking for death wobble. 40s are difficult to balance, so without a steering stabilizer it'll probably be a pain in the butt to keep it going in a straight line. Seems like an obvious thing to include on a build like this, too. Zero rear visibility with that spare tire in the bed. Would've been better to have a fabricated swing-away rear tire carrier bolted to the frame under the rear bumper. All in all, it's cool to see companies doing these kinds of builds. You'd need a mortgage to own it, though.

[@patriot5526]

Huge truck with a huge reduction in its payload and towing capacity. There’s nothing wrong with this truck if you want the coolest looking truck on the block. But if you need a truck for work, like hauling heavy equipment for construction, or 18,000 lbs of hay for a ranch, this will not be the most suitable truck for the job. This is only an appearance package.

[@supporterofsanity]

Beefy😮love it!

[@AvosoaJossiaRAZAKANARY]

more videos of that truck pls

[@JeremyMN]

Idk About The AEV Edition But You Can Get A RAM 2500 Standard Bed Tho With FRONT LOCKING DIFFERENTIALS 👍(seeing the SHORT BED🧐)

[@mattromain7177]

Wow that thing is filthy. Wonder if they do rust prevention after chopping the fenders up?

[@stevehinkley9099]

They do.

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Does the Ford F600 still exist? Hard finding the differences on film between a 450/550 and the f600.

[@rsbreeze]

Needs a sprayed in bedliner fer crissakes!

[@mcjogom]

🎉👍💖👍🎉Thank you

[@wgockel1]

130k and no bedliner seems puzzeling but im sure someone will pick it up.

[@redman2751]

A fool and his money is soon separated.

[@MrJEEPJT]

For what trucks cost in their basic configurations a spray on bed liner should be included from the factory

[@PKDesigns2011]

I like the truck but it feels to unfinished and tad weird Lux/Offroad mix about it lol ... Ty for sharing

[@pnwdweler4100]

$130K and you don't even get a cap for your valve stem @3:26. LOL!

[@eddiepacheco7885]

Does this truck come with the biggest bottle of vaseline aa well?

[@JeremyMN]

U Like The AT4X Better Huh? (Seen new video)... The AT4X 2500 Doesn't Come With Front Lockers Tho🤷🤔... Gotta Look Into this.... The 1500 at4x Has Too Low Of Payload For A Camper🤔🤷... The 2500 Ram V8 Powerwagon Looking Like A Closer Fit🤔 The FRONT Locker Will Come In Hand For Northern Minnesota Fishing Lake Back Roads During Winter🤔...

[@iblongshia]

641lbs payload sucks!😅 And C load tires for off-roading. 😂

[@xanitrucker9946]

Thats actually a cheaper price than I thought. I might buy that one, but its a 2500 mile drive.

[@jayb7675]

$130k is cheaper than you thought?

[@xanitrucker9946]

@@jayb7675 Honestly, yes. I expected this build to be around 150 to 160 grand.

[@jayb7675]

So that’s a $130k truck? The AEV options alone cost $40k. “Nice car, did you know just the upfitted AEV options on my $130k truck cost more than your car?”

[@robertcurtis3807]

No other Truck Companies make a V8 anymore except for Dodge Ram, and Nissan Titan. But not only do RAMS have a V8, but they have a SUPERCHARGER! Turbos SUCKS, believe me I know. Got to make sure the oil runs through before driving off, then after parking it is recommended to let it run for one minute, then to shirt it off. And turbos add to the weight of the vehicle, and uses more components than the Superchargers. And also the vehicle has to rev high before you get that needed horsepower, and torque. Turbos can mess up, and reverse too. That will definitely screw up your vehicle.

[@aesho46]

129k 😂

[@carltuckerson7718]

Not my favorite style. But what I was thinking was that even with all these upgrades, I bet it still has a decent payload because its a gasser.

[@supporterofsanity]

😂you didn’t watch 1 minute of the video lol it’s a Cummins

[@carltuckerson7718]

I did watch but couldn’t see the badge. And must’ve missed him mentioning it - and pre-AEV package it seemed cheap for a diesel. Also working while listening. But I get it I was wrong and bet it has no payload in that case.

[@thescoggfather]

Not with that big ass spare in the back lol

[@jamesbaker8937]

That's wrong a ram 3500 aev would be bigger

[@stevehinkley9099]

same physical size. only differences are in the suspension, transmission option, and engine option.

[@qosikim]

Omg. Stand still with the camera ffs. Relax! Giving me a headache
