Ram 2500 Yellowstone Edition

We transformed this Yellowstone RAM 2500 into a
heavy-duty touring weapon

‘BIG BUILD' REDEFINED

When you start with a RAM 2500 Yellowstone Edition, you’ve already got a serious head-turner on your hands. But for this heavy-duty build, leaving it stock was never an option. The goal here was simple: build a no-compromise, legal, and ultra-capable weapon ready to handle the absolute toughest conditions WA can throw at it. From performance upgrades under the bonnet to barwork and a massive GVM increase, everything on this rig was selected to turn it into the ultimate long-distance tourer.

The backbone of this massive rig is our GVM Stage 5 upgrade, engineered right here to legally boost payload capabilities to a massive 5550kg GVM for the RAM 2500 and 3500 platforms. This package features Federal Approval and full SSM compliance, meaning it is 100% legal and engineered right out of the box. We set this one up with premium Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Front and Rear Suspension, paired with a 3 inch Lift Kit with Radius Arms and heavy-duty ORI 50mm Front and Rear Coils to maintain a plush, bulletproof ride under load. To give it the ultimate stance and capability, the package is fully engineered for 35×12.5×20 or 35×12.5×18 diameter tyres. (Find out more about our GVM packages here, you know you want to!)

Under the bonnet, we made sure that big Cummins diesel could breathe easy and run cool, installing a Banks Monster Ram Intake and an AEV Snorkel for an unrestrictive Air Ram Intake. To bulletproof the drivetrain for heavy towing and remote touring, we backed it up with a Banks differential cover and a Banks deep pan transmission pan, letting a full Banks Monster Exhaust System take care of the spent gases.

But a big build isn’t just about what’s under the skin; it’s about making it functional and looking the part on the road. We bolted up a colour-coded Offroad Creative bull bar up front, packed with a lethal Baja Designs light package to turn night into day. To house the wider footprint, we threw on Husky Extenda Flares and heavy-duty mudflaps, while a massive Titan long-range fuel tank means the owner will be bypassing the bowser for days on end.

We rounded out the build with the essential touring smarts: an Anderson plug for constant power, and a GME Connect 4WD pack to keep comms crystal clear when they’re way past the black stump. This Ram 2500 is no mall crawler, it’s a purpose-built, dual-purpose machine ready for the ultimate Aussie adventure. If you’ve got a big truck and an even bigger vision, you know where to find us.
