@@markleon7076 hey mate sorry I don’t think I really matters how much I spent.

Thanks, will do!

@@ECOFFROAD cheers mate

@@_The_Bell_Family cheers guys! Yeah we almost went a NPS just last yr after seeing yours hahaha however I love the comfort and power

Could always go a 2500

@@TinderTuesdays- not much $$ difference mate about $8000

@@roamin_in_a_ramI got my 23 2500 for 140k but each persons finances are different I guess

@@TinderTuesdays- that’s a awesome price! I have had both2500 and now 3500 and when I went for my 3500 there was about 8 or 10k difference between to 2 at the dealership

@@Davidjeng049 haha yeah she isn’t cheap. Thanks mate 🤙

@@TheTripleDubya thanks mate 🤙 Shocker hitch is mint 👌 definitely best on the market! Yeah canopy makes it a lot more practical. What to do ? Go see Mitch at Concept Canopies hahaha 🤣

@@roamin_in_a_ram why do you rate shocker hitch better than say the geny? geny seems to take movement up and down, whereas the shocker seems to mainly work on the down force. how does the bag fair against rockls etc as doesnt seem protected. im looking atm as to what to get

@@glennbuckland6816 well I had 2 of them brake over 16months of travelling. They only had up woods movement and ended up with side ways movement aswell. (Second one I got under warranty) The shocker has up and down movement it’s all in the air pressure which I love you can adjust very easily for more movement or less or if you change trailers. I know lots of ppl that have been running shockers for yrs no issues. Yeah haven’t heard of any bag issues however yes I thought that and am going to add a piece of rubber to protect just like a mud flap

@@robertgrayson3394 thanks mate!! Yeah I reckon the 3500 ride is a lot nicer the 2500 in our application with heavy weights

@@roamin_in_a_ram Thanks. How do these bigger rigs go off-road in terms of width and wheel articulation and ramp over hang ups? Probably biggest thing holding me back at moment is width as I do a lot of tight tracks and am worried I will trash it. I use Rhino Hides on my 200 series which works well. I assume a good quality PPF would help and maybe some magnetic film protection? Ramp over also concerns me slightly but I assume 35” tyres and 3” left addresses that largely? Lastly, is the rear wheel travel on the 3500 limiting and does it get hung up on the spring packs like a 70 series Toyota.

@@robertgrayson3394 personally I have never had a problem. Heaps of 2500’s and 3500’s have done the OTT for example. It all comes down to the driver. Yeah I have PPF all over mine. Depends on what you want to do I reckon touring (large weights,canopy,boat etc) 3” 35’s and if you want to do more hectic wheeling I would say 4” 37’s

@@peterfrazer4034 sorry for the late reply I have dropped it back to 300ml now. However everyone is different mate depending on you stools. So start at 300ml and see how you go it easy to add alittle more after a hr or 2

Thank you 😋

@@Roberto.Giuseppe thanks mate!

@@johnnyclark4548 Hey guys! Average is going up in the next episodes however towing 18-23LPH and not towing 15-17LPH of course they all depend on weight and terrain however we will go more in depth in an episode. DPF yeah I don’t like them haha Transmission is the weakest part of the drive train however I have had upgrades from G&L Performance: deeper pan, hydro bypass, billet valving, tuned, changed friction pads on the over drive. Yeah it was self inflicted however I have done so many water crossings before with out a drama even that day it was my 3rd. Needed a new fan, radiator and also changed the tensioner, some pulleys and the belt just because of how remote we were. No dramas guys happy to answer any questions long or short hahaha 🤙

@@roamin_in_a_ramawesome mods on the trans. Whom did your trans tuning? We are about to pick up our 3500 and do our first trip within days after receiving her. After that I will do all the easy stuff not going to pull the gearbox and we wont be running as heavy as you. I cant wait to pick her up. Looking forward to your next episode. Cheers Johnny&Rene

@@johnnyclark4548 thanks mate!! All my mechanical and tuning is through Reece and Benny from G&L Performance in Jimboomba QLD or someone they recommend if I’m too far away. Would definitely ringing them if you have any questions they are the BEST in Australia.

I went looking for a moron and here you are.Didn't take long for you to pop up with a moronic comment.So explain to me what vehicle I legally tow my 6000kg 11.5 meter trailer with that allows me to take up to 4 passengers interstate with the same level of comfort as a Ram ? I'll wait.

@@Elst78 thanks mate

@@AussieDazza there are still Dodge Cars mate

I’d have to agree for full time towning, short stints can be ok providing you do everything you can to make them as and they can be… upgrading and lots of it!

Patrols and 300 series fine after max GVM upgrades?

@@user-dg6cm5bk2o hey mate sorry I’m not up to date with the Denali weights. I guess just find out GVM, Tare, max axle weights to start with and see who is offering what in upgrades.

I think you will find the chev and gmc with independent front end would not have the upgrade capability as the fords and rams. In the 2500 and 3500 ranges

@@user-dg6cm5bk2o cheers mate 🤙 Thank you!!

@@user-fn8ex6pi3y disrespect???? did you even watch it I said I really like 1500’s however they can’t carry the weight I have and that as soon as I done travelling I will be buying 1500 🤣🤣

@@roamin_in_a_ram think you should also watch your video again as I didn’t hear any respect in your commentary in the first few minutes so stopped watching. So your saying you stick it in early & then take it back. Maybe you should plan more & have less add lib if that was your intention…

Might be the first then I know I say it somewhere hahah however we have done a lot of recording. Sorry don’t really understand what you’re saying? At the end of the day I don’t say anything disrespectful I’m just saying facts however it looks like I hit a nerve. Have a nice day 👍

No nerves hit, if you can’t see the disrespect probably why your now trying to be condescending 😢 Happy to leave it there… up to you

⁠@@user-fn8ex6pi3yit’s always difficult to read tone through messages. It was easy for me to interpret your comments as an insult, I only responded to reassure you I meant no disrespect and love the 1500s which I said in the video. Can’t please everyone but hopefully others don’t misinterpret a video intended purely for informational purposes.

@@SUPERTRUCKER166 why 1700kg?? Why not 1000kg or 1800kg 😂 We tow 4.5T not 3.5T so less payload plus and bigger tray/canopy/longer chassis = more weight 300kg+ in material. Yes parts are some what easier however we have lots of friends touring in these trucks and they still wait the same 7days as us for parts and just because they can work on it doesn’t mean you should use them haha Yes they aren’t as comfortable so I guess we can choose to be comfortable??? To much gear haha ?? We take what we want why is that bad or to much??

What about the fact that the fuel economy is way worse, like ram towing over 4t is like 20lt per 100 and the nps is like 30lt and about 1/10th of the power. Not saying I do not love the full size trucks over the American trucks.

@@Lets_go_troopin rubbish. A 2500 or 3500 is in the 20L+/100km mark not towing, especially once you bolt all the crap on. My NPS averages 16-17 not towing and 25 towing 4.5t. And my gross is around 6t give or take depending if I have the 400L of onboard water and 580L of diesel full or not.

@SUPERTRUCKER166 I have a ram 2500 not as big as these boys and have a gcm loaded of 6.3t and I tow 19 freeways and up to 23 In the hills. I would have got an nps but my wife wanted the comfit for big trips lol

@SUPERTRUCKER166 mine tuned av 14 to 15 Lt per 100. Can get it down to like 10.5 on freeways not towning with 35s

@@GrabLifeByTheGourlays thanks mate 🤙

@@TheTripleDubya hey mate yeah Chevy 2500 max axle load is comes to 5500kg. Yeah I found the Ram 2500 was alittle boaty with a lot of weight the lead rear end in the 3500 and Chev is better

@@baumie4618yeah that’s the shit part about FTrucks and engine is currently out haha doing my lifters and cam

You can’t get a GVM anymore the your max axle weight and all of those number I put up are this yrs model 2500 so sorry but you are incorrect. Also I have had both 2500 and 3500 and I reckon the 3500 in a better ride however not with a tub.

Monster off road do a 5800 gvm and 3175 axle upgrade on current 2500 ram I don’t know if good or bad ? but they do advertise that they do post reg and pre reg is coming 👍👍👌

@@billstanford1725 that’s a 20k upgrade that seems alittle dodgy as the don’t actually change anything on the rear diff however they change the rating 🧐 which is alittle interesting and the diffs are different how the shocks mount and the springs mount of course. However if that works for someone that works. These videos are just to show the facts about the vehicles
