From an Aussie living in Canada and a land cruiser fanboy, having used these 2500’s for work for the past three years, it pains me to admit they’re an absolute dream of a truck

[@PatriotGames]

They sure are!!

[@darwinspooks1]

@@PatriotGames and then there is a simple remap lol. Seen a 6.7 in a old Chevy c10 go 10.2 @ 135mph with only bigger turbo and pump modifications lol. deboss garage covered the build.

[@OzBoating]

@@PatriotGames Cross shaft steering RHD conversion instead of moving the steering box - What is the deal with ASV using this method now? Was close to signing a contract until i discovered this fact. Are you happy with this conversion in this particular truck?

[@squidling4040]

The oil dip stick looks like a lawn mower pull start handle, I want one !

[@peterhatch1583]

In five years come a long way ! I can respect that!!

[@kgositheophilusbakwena3632]

Justin mate you should purchase the RAM TRX and use it to pre run all your Baja races

[@darwinspooks1]

The white badges should have been left chrome, blacked out or simply taken off Tbh, look a bit backyard painted n tacky. Absolutely beautiful 4x4 100%. Great upload cheers.

[@locknload9222]

I get my 2500 in February 💪🏻 can’t wait to turn it into a work/ touring beast!! Watching this video is only making me want it here now!!! Been a cruiser man all my life but like you said it’s the perfect platform as standard with cutting and chopping, love what your doing in Australia and all over the world 👍🏻 🇦🇺

[@chrishavo6959]

Ram salesperson of the year award goes to Justin, Love it.

[@sandbox2752]

Good on you mate good to see how far you’ve come

[@jordiwalsh362]

are you going to do a ram trx build? would love to see what they can do touring and 4wding rather then just going fast.

[@maxxx229]

need this

[@simonvance8054]

That would be cool to see since it's the Ram version of a Raptor...the TRX must be a fun truck...

[@SlackingSince1969]

It warms the heart of this Star Wars nerd to see that but I was actually expecting Leathal Weapon...lol Love this truck🍻

[@muddyram]

I’ve got a 2022 ram 2500 and absolutely love it. I’m in the mountains I’m the US and it’s a dream truck to drive, pulls like a champ, rides amazing and is comfortable. You’ll love yours for sure

[@chrisandshazza01]

Bloody awesome review Justin. I like the part ‘the tables have turned’🤣 Yep Australia has embraced something that fills a huge gap in our market.

[@frankguernier2280]

I went to put the money on the table but. We on Australia can't have the limited version in the 2500 or the midnight black out option or factory air bags or full leather seats. I just can't say I like that big grille in chrome. It's also about $10,000 more expensive than a Chev. I am going to hold out until towards the end of 2024 and hope supply options change.

[@baileylogan8369]

Would you ever look at doing a f250 pcor set up on one of them would be so bloody nice !

[@WDMTAdventures]

Mate!! What a rig, absolutely love it... When I win the lottery I'm gettin' one. Absolutely love it.

[@petert3355]

Would love to have one of these, especially if I could get the 8 foot tub. (Just because with that length, you can build a sleeper down one side and fridges etc on the other. No need to tow anything) The ONLY issue I have is my wallet could never keep up with the fuel costs 😥

[@Billrovid]

Looks great bro very nice. For what you’re going to use it for don’t redo anything on the suspension. You’re doing it right

[@lyndonhamby7432]

You’re right brother. Hard to beat a Ram Cummins. I love mine. No power joke ever again 💪🏻💪🏻👍👍

[@jeffreybalandra8891]

Love the love to Ram fan, I have been a ram fan since the mid 90’s and never turned back.

[@PatriotGames]

Awesome truck 👌🏾

[@ramrider1453]

How well has the Ram been treating you with the older gens and newer gens?

[@anbu999]

Patriots Campers holified.

[@Evan27136]

Fundamentally, this is a great vid!

[@jackhughes1317]

The red arc go block is a great idea but you might aswell put a full dual battery system as the price tag of $2945 is just ridiculous

[@Salmon4lif3]

But with his viewer numbers, he beats any commercial that redarc would have to pay a lot of money for ;)

[@michaeljohn669]

Love your truck god bless your trips. With these truck we go anywhere do anything at any time! Nothing can stop us

[@zacteahuru1221]

Off to get me one.everything I needed to know cheers

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Love that truck Justin 👍👍

[@elichampion3352]

Awesome truck you have there mate! I might have to get one 😎🤙

[@yogiesoemadjipoetranto4169]

Woo new truck RAM 2500 mr justin

[@emu4wdadventures631]

Nice RAM. tastefully done. Steve 🇦🇺

[@orseting8377]

My dream touring rig

[@mitchellbeggs6038]

Wow love it to bits

[@abos022]

Really enjoy the Patriot channel, keep up the great work mate. I am also considering a 2500 series truck, doesn't the Ram 2500 only offer about 850kg payload with no option to increase as this is max from the US? For higher payloads one would have to look at the Ram 3500. The Silverado 2500HD thou comes stock with about 1400KG payload with much higher rated engine(Duramax 335kw/1234nm) and gearbox (Alison branded 10spd). Would you consider doing a Silverado HD2500 anytime?

[@jazzrandhawa6226]

Beautiful

[@ryanmartinage]

People love giving us crap about our trucks until they get to use them hehe. Enjoy that Cummins! In the future, keep an eye out for the HO Cummins with the AISIN 6 speed pushing out 1000 ft lb of torque.

[@poutyscustoms4018]

Bloody beautiful mate. Have a look at the longhorn 2500 ram interior. Ram really have nailed it. Great video.

[@maccheese9072]

My brother just got the longhorns limited 2022 3500 high output 6.7 it's a beautiful truck 1075 lb of torque over 400 HP as well

[@ramrider1453]

Love your content… 🇨🇦

[@simonvance8054]

Nice paintwork, I'd do the same not a fan of chrome either.. When I get mine it will be a black 2500 night edition definitely with the Cummins...Will do some mods but first thing I'll do is get aftermarket wheels and tires & maybe a canopy...can't wait!

[@mikeshuck2760]

Just found your channel. Some great content and family experiences. I'm here in California, Own a 2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. The PW comes 2 1/2 inch lift over a stock 2500 and special suspension parts. 12,000 lbs winch, Limited slip rear Diff. Lockers front and rear, disconnect sway bar. I went from 1500 to 2500 to pull a 7,000lbs boat. Sure the 1500 is rated to pull it but the 2500 handles it much better, and don't mean just pulling forward. Turning, stopping and handling the trailer in mountain curves. I'm sure you saw one while in the States, Mega Cab. It's like the back seat of a Limo. Stupid amount of room for a truck. Enjoy your truck, it will serve you well.

[@garrychapple8463]

Hi Justin, love your reviews. I have just taken delivery of this same vehicle. One great feature of the digital rear view mirror is that a camera on the rear of the trailer, in my case a caravan, allows you to get great visibility of traffic behind the trailer, activated by Tow/Haul switch. Well, this is what Mopar and the marketing videos say, but My local RAM dealer has not been able to find out how to do it or what kits are required. Is this something that you have come across or would be interested in given that you do a lot of towing. I would love to find out how to do it, camera specs required, programming required, etc.

[@paulmcintosh5589]

So nice.

[@mattyjohnson8970]

Some good A/T are bfgoodrich ko2 or cooper A/T3 and for width wise you would want a 285 or 305 if that help 👍

[@khaledelmasri6316]

Really big fan of patriot love every build but the outcome of the ram 2500 could have come out nicer to much white. 👍🏻

[@Giddzy]

Thought i over payed for the Engel smart battery box and a lifepo4. Then redarc came out with the goblock. 3k is insane to run the fridge in the missus car

[@telfordpetrolhead]

New to the channel, watched so many videos wish the sold the rams in the uk 🇬🇧

[@samwalsh27]

Great vid guys! What happening with the fj49?

[@gen1c8rs88]

325/65r18 tyres for now on 18x9 Method Racing Bead Grip 701-HD Bronze wheels, 37x13.50r18 tyres for later😉

[@Chris-xf5dq]

Is the factory rear air suspension not available in Aus? Would have thought for what your using the truck for the factory air would be better than coils and bags.

[@robbiemonardo2530]

Let’s go new 2500

[@PatriotGames]

Yew 🤙🏽

[@jasontaylor7837]

Torque and gearing is the key in trucks that size

[@moedog5087]

Damn sharp truck! That's a $100k truck off the lot here in the states. I can't imagine what that thing costs over there!

[@MrKurdishAsh]

$170-180k AUD, which is roughly $130k USD

[@ramrider1453]

@@MrKurdishAsh Ouch!!! Yup that’s a lot of bread…. I paid 68000.00 for my 2019 Longhorn up here in 🇨🇦. I thought that was nuts. Lol

I wish gme would offer their products in the states 🇺🇸 That aside congratulations on ur ram 🐏 …. I love my power wagon

[@tomh225]

Should do a power wagon build

[@tvk1316]

Nice

[@kratodd]

Aftermarket bull bar bumpers are a great safety feature for towing rigs. You can't really evade or quickly stop with a loaded trailer.

[@andrewcox710]

Picking up our 17 RAM 2500 Laramie in 2 weeks. It'll be our tow rig for the van for the next 12 months. I was considering engine upgrades (cold air intake, fmic, XL trans pan, fuel Air separator) but if you're not...... I'm questioning my upgrade priorities

[@PatriotGames]

You’ll love it!

[@keith2860]

If you get an intake get an S&B or BANKS stay away from those cone filter ones. Your truck will have pretty good fuel filtration from the factory. A good towing valve body or shift kit will help with towing for and maybe help your 68rfe live longer

[@annedunn5859]

just wondering what towing mirrors you all use and is there a good generator box out there for a caravan. I ask you guys because I know you know your stuff.

[@user-yz3db4bu9l]

Great video, where do you get the swivel side mirrors from, cheers

[@shanedwyer4881]

What charging options do you use for the red arc box

[@richieduck67]

Time to RAM up

Great vid as usual Justin. I’ve said it before and Ill say it again the tv skits r hilarious and someone watches a lot of tv eh . I don’t think it would b u Justin as your too busy

i have a 3500 mega cab 6.7l HO (high output) turbo diesel it cost me alot of money in Australia everything is so expensive now these days this is bullshit

Really want to see a cab swap. At DT on a 2500/3500 chassis

Can we get a update in the fj49

Next Tuesday I’m pre sure

[@taikarena3258]

Hi Justin, nice rig bud. yep there are always that one hater who will give an opinion about something they haven't got or owned or can afford. You can walk the walk and talk the talk because you have owned and driven these trucks to death. Love your guys work don't stop doing what you guys do and to the haters go make love to yourselves. Just saying.....

[@petermacgregor2004]

We have got to get the yanks to give us the option of air suspension on these vehicles. They have it on the 1500's.

[@doctorboy5892]

Hi Justin. Would you ever get a white Kenworth K220. 2050 ft Lb of torque. Very comfortable when towing your box trailer.

[@fulllockadventures1345]

Hey Justin good content as always but please drop the ‘static’ sound you use as a transition between scenes. My only gripe with your videos

[@johntrueblue]

respray the Ram door logo, someone didnt do a full job. Showed you on your FB post :P

[@dominicsauer8243]

Dare I ask how much one of these costs? about to put a 5.9 Cummins in a patrol but would love one of these.

[@liampjarvis]

If I had a dollar every time I saw the KZbin title ‘ultimate touring rig’, I’d be able to afford the ultimate touring rig

[@kiwi1200gsa]

Great paid ad by Ram trucks. Please mention the shocking payload here in Oz 835 kg. 835 kg-350 kg leaves 485 kg for everything that goes in or on the vehicle including passengers and driver.

[@FusionWOBA]

The Ram badges on the doors and back tray I would of painted them black, just a thought.

[@akhilmalhotra4925]

Need white rims for iced out look

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Nice truck, not a fan of the white, looks like an ambulance, white mirrors are a bit much, white badges look a bit cheap white tail lights look a bit Chinese , maybe a wrap in flat grey or green would have looked better, but still a nice looking truck, enjoy it.

Can you still get the v8 in the 2500

Hi it’s it true if you wanted to Tow with a ram you have to get a truck license because you’re overweight.?

[@klevewoodward7602]

I think the big question is! Are the seats comfier than a GU patrol?

[@PatriotGames]

😂😂😂😂 yes 👏

[@ArjayMartin]

What about the Sherp? :)

[@timbroadbent5286]

😎👍

[@RD11RT]

Justin, love the rig but that white is just way too much. Be keen to know ride difference vs 1500 as the opinions clash often!

[@MurderousXx]

you guys need to do a pimp my fourbie series so my broke ass can get some free upgrades to my Ranger haha

[@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223]

Are you sponsored by Ram?

[@masterflow101]

I don't understand why they convert to right hand drive

[@4buzze1]

Oi guv. That seat is maxed forward eh. Do you got a white/chrome booster seat.

[@David_Mash]

Might want to check that figure on the 2500 there bud. 26 ton is definitely not legal on a 2500 in the US as that's 52,000 lb

How does it go on sand?

[@PatriotGames]

We might have to test that out 😉

Hate to correct you on this, but the Silverado 2500HD with 6.6 Duramax V8 has 1234Nm
