As far as Ram trucks are concerned, the 5500 Chassis Cab is one capable workhorse thanks to a maximum towing capacity of 35,220 pounds. However, this fellow can also be adapted into an expedition vehicle chock-full of bells and whistles.
Adventure Trucks is the company responsible for the conversions in the photo gallery, and both of them can be equipped with a 5.0-inch lift kit that translates to an overall height of 11 feet. In addition to a little condo on wheels, the Ram also flaunts a full-size spare wheel out back as well as a rather useful roof rack.
But that’s not all, oh no! Priced from $240,000 and $370,000, respectively, these conversions “are very maneuverable due to an 89-inch-wide body” and an overall length of 22 or 26 feet. The one-piece molded composite body features recycled closed-cell foam, which is environmentally friendly, light, and durable.
Both trucks carry 100 gallons of diesel for the Cummins straight-six turbo diesel engine, and off the beaten path, the 650 watts of solar panels and 20,000-Wh battery bank should come in handy for the Vitrifrigo refrigerator and freezer. A cooking top with an induction cooker, stainless-steel sink, shower, cassette toilet, 92 gallons of fresh water, and sleeping for two adults are worthy of mention as well.
An electric dimmable skylight adds a bit of atmosphere to the living quarters, four LED lights on the cabover help with forward visibility at night, and a 16,500-pound electric winch can get you out of a difficult situation on the rocky trail. Off-road suspension upgrades such as Fox performance shock absorbers, an American Expedition Vehicles front bumper with fog lights, AEV front fenders, a raised air intake, and plenty of storage cabinets are highlights in their own right.
Some options can easily bump up the price to even more ridiculous levels, but extras such as the rooftop air conditioner and second Li-Ion battery are definitely worth considering if you want to make the most out of your bug-out truck.
