Lets see some full size pictures...

We are a german couple living near Frankfurt/M., getting to this part of Spain means approx 1000mls of driving. In return, I always envy you guys for the spectacular trails in Utah...

It would not have been top of mind for me to think RAM trucks were readily available in Germany. Then again, I saw a few GMC trucks in Iceland

The 1500 is rather popular, still an uncommon exotic all over Europe, for its size alone. The HD Trucks are extremely rare. However, especially in Spain folks absolutely love our truck, people take U-turns to follow you and ask for selfies. Makes you feel like a celebrity
During this years trip, we also visited the Sierra Nevada (which originally is in Spain). There is a road that goes up to 2500m above sea level. All major car manufacturers use it for prototype testing. When we were up there, there was an engineering crew of Mercedes AMG, they brought 5(!) AMG Ones. Those are 3million $ each...
I stopped close to one of the drivers to have a german to german chat, and the first thing he said was "Nice truck you got there". Well, that was my favorite day that week...

I'm not even a Dodge (RAM) guy and I get a kick out of that. Of course Mercedes used to own the company that used to produce that truck, so there's that.


Fascinating. I am in Massachusetts and recall a couple years ago a couple from Europe (possibly Germany?) Who were driving around the country but they were in a tall van possibly a Mercedes.

I barely get west of the Mississippi but the crossing of the Missouri at Chamberlain is an eyeful

Last 5. Maybe I should start a Build Thread.

There is a new truck in my garage.

Thanks to a deer encounter, I replaced my 2019 Chevy LT Trail Boss with a 2026 Custom Trail Boss in black with the Midnight Edition package. After looking at my options with both new and used trucks I determined they just don’t excite me anymore and are all overpriced junk.

I settled for the lower trim level than my previous ride just because it is somewhat familiar. I plan to add a few minor things including: rear fender liners, seat covers, better floor mats, under-seat storage, & fog lights. I am looking forward to getting out with the family and dogs to camp and explore soon. We are fairly minimalistic and are comfortable packing a cooler and ground tents under a tonneau for a week of exploring. What other mods/upgrades do you suggest?

That depends on what you plan on doing with it. What type of terrain? How hard are the trails?

Since I've seen other Truck Campers in this thread, guess my new rig is appropriate? It's a work in progress with planned upgrades of, Side boxes, Garage, Starlink, Lithium power bank, 12V A/C.......

Love it. does the 2026 have the upgraded dash & large infotainment screen? If so, that's the perfect setup: less to go wrong! For other mods, maybe something like a Bilstein 6112 setup up front for some extra height and capacity, and maybe a taller tire within reason. Then spend the rest on gas out enjoying it!

That's all you need. And maybe a phone book. When I test drove a Trail Boss Custom, the seats had less height adjustability and I felt like a kid driving my dad's truck

I had 35’s on my stock 19 and it looked and drive great with slight rubbing in some situations. These trucks just only have about 2” of clearance in my 80” garage door opening. The screen in the 26 is the same as my old 19 LT was but doesn’t have the Bose speakers or steering wheel controls. So far the stereo and fog lights are the only things I miss from the higher trim level.

Hot spring in the middle of the desert,

Wild mustangs of the west.

By luck tiger trout was on the line,
I think those are hybrids between brook trout and another species?
