Thread: Switch to Dodge RAM 2500...please talk me out of it!

Do you go to remote area's or is it just up and down the east coast.
If remote go a 70 series cruiser then mod it to suit. If east coast then get a low km f250/350 that ford aust imported as their will be back up.
Or get a gvm upgrade on your current rig.
With a truck unless you do some serious reworking of sispension and seats it will be very very rough

Are you John Cadogan by chance? He gives them a mighty hard time. Fortunately LR does not seem to pop up on his hate radar.

I reckon you will destroy a Ram off road due to its width. Have you considered an IVECO Daily? Awesome vehicle and when I can afford one would be on my list.

About the same as for any other manufacturer.

I well maintained and prepared car greatly reduces issues on the road. Also having somebody reliable that you can call to get something on a plane if the seller cannot is also good. I had two people on different town that could do this for me.

My clutch master cylinder failed on the Simpson desert.....I continued driving to Mt Dare where i fixed it.....no service centre, no mobile reception, they did have a bit of a workshop but I didn’t actually investigate. Was lucky enough to be carrying a master cylinder kit sonwithbthe help of 10 000 000 flies we were on our way.

I beg to differ

All of the guys that I know that own or have owned Rams, F Trucks and Chevs will not take them off road if there is any bush around.
