After thousands of miles and countless adventures, it's finally time to say goodbye to Indie... and hello to our brand-new 2025 Ram 3500 Cummins Long Bed!
In this video, we take you along for one last drive in our trusted Ram 2500 before picking up our custom-ordered Ram 3500. We compare the two trucks side-by-side, walk through all the changes, and explain why we made the switch.
We cover:
-Our first look at the new Ram 3500
-Ram 2500 vs. Ram 3500 comparison
-The new ZF 8-speed transmission
-Why we chose an 8-foot long bed
-Vinyl flooring vs. carpet
-Cloth seats, Bighorn trim, and future upgrades
-18" wheels vs. 20" wheels
-Fifth-wheel prep package & towing features
-Our experience buying from Mark Dodge
-Saying goodbye to our old truck, "Indie"
For us, our truck isn't just transportation—it's half of our home. As full-time RV travelers, this is one of the biggest upgrades we've ever made, and we're excited to see how this new truck performs on the road.
💬 We need your help!
Our old truck was named Indie, but our new truck still needs a name! Drop your best suggestions in the comments—we'd love to hear what you'd call it.
