Roaming Lost: 2020 RAM Rebel EcoDiesel Overland Build

[roaminglost]

I am so jealous of your mileage! I’m lucky to hit 16 highway. 12 around town With my 5.7.
I see people post they get 17-18 in theRebel with the 5.7 and don’t understand how. Oh well.

The wheels I bought from you, the black ones are now mounted on another Ram here in town.

Its pretty wild what I'm getting with all this added on stuff. Very stoked on it lol.

I think what you are getting is normal. I have rented and driven several Rebel (both past and current generation) with the Hemi and I have loved the truck, but hated the gas mileage. Having the Eco-Diesel version seems like a game changer (at least for me).

Here is a video of our trip to the Arctic Circle in 2017

Do you have any pictures of the articulation / flex? I am considering a Ram 1500 for our family build. It checks many of the boxes.

I'd like to build a composite side entry camper for the back and wondering if it needs a sub-frame or if these chassis are stiff enough for a direct mount.

Looking for a similar flex test as here. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ramcruiser-the-build.213953/post-2785852

Great looking build, will check out your YT videos.

Great looking truck! I'm curious what that orange thing is that is attached to the pass side bed by the tail light in some of the pics?

Unfortunately nothing like that test. But I haven't had any issues. Even with airbags. But i don't do crazy trails so it hasn't been noticeable. But a hard side camper would be sick!

Yes, that's exactly what I was asking about. Those are pretty slick. Don't think they'd work on my aluminum F150 though...
