I wouldnt tow anything with BFGOODRICH K02's in snow and ice. You will never stop it!
Love my K02's in summer only.
This is a NICE truck whihc has the PROPER 4x4 off-road goods on it! Add a big 50 gallon auxilliary in-bed fuel tank and you are good to go!

@11:15. Remember that adding bags does NOTHING to add weight carrying capacity. Rule 1 of researching bags.
Air bags don’t add weight capacity. Your 2500 is limited instead of getting a 3500 with greater payload for how you’re utilizing the truck.
The RAM with the slight lift and bigger tires looks sexy.
Agreed, then again I think that goes for so trucks.
Ok so yesterday I got a short video of y’all already in Arizona and today we get this out of our guys the great job Andre and David come on editors
Shouldn't this video have been released before yesterday's video showing the initial mileage with this towing with Andre and David? Perhaps another one of your channels.....
Ditto
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Been watchin all the traihound vids! its a killer truck and you guys did a great job. the Alu-cab is sweet as it should be for 25k but i think i would have gone a slightly different route w susp and tires. if this were a dedicated tow rig or i was leaving the camper on i would have gone w 35s for lower center of gravity, less weight, less gear change, and in general ease of use. like maybe then a spare could have fit underneath? the 37s still look right size w the truck lift considering you jumped 4" in size. i would have done a two inch lift in front and kept the 3in block in the rear. this way it would keep factory stance w an empty bed slightly raised. So when you add all this weight like you are now it would ride more level. now you need to adjust your headlites while towing.
Cool set up! Andre - Now you have a CDL, right? Word to the wise, you need chains for securing wheeled vehicles. You should also chock the wheels. Otherwise this looks nice!
For heavy machinery for example, earthmoving plants, chains are best. For lighter cars like Andre's Buhanka 4 straps is good. But on each wheel, not from the chassis. I'm a truck driver in Australia so not sure of your laws
@@Malc664 Thanks for your input. I'm a trucker in the USA for 20 years and I haul specialty loads primarily, including Over Size. This is a recreational setup, but he has a CDL. This puts him in another category. When someone has a CDL ( Commercial Driver's License )here in the USA, the laws are the same applying to the driver whether commercially or recreationally.
In Europe we also only use straps but don't tie down the chassis, we tie down each wheel to the trailer and use wheel chocks when necessary.
Please drive UAZ in deep snow. Thank you.
I thought that airbags don't increase capacity. They only level you out so that rear squat, trailer tongue height, braking, viewing so your nose is less in the way...is safer.
These shocks look so cool..
Anything to make a heavy duty ride better is a great investment.
A truck is meant to off road, 2wd is pointless unless on pavement only
Unless you're rock crawling or in deep mud 2wd is perfectly serviceable. Most of my trucks when I was younger were 2wd and I wandered all over hell and back...throw a shovel and junk in the bed and go get lost for a day or two.
@@desertsavagery you had good tires and/ or weight in the back..
I'll gladly spend 3k extra for capability
@@TaigaTurf I had some gear in the bed, cheap tires, and more enthusiasm than brains.
This sounds like an insult but that Buhunka looks great being towed, cannot explain why.
68RFE. Even the Buhanka is nervous about this trip… Shit weather down here in AZ right now too. Those guys are probably not too happy at the boarder.
I always saw the limited payload on the 2500 when equipped with the Cummins. It was like 2k lbs, when the gasser was around 3400 payload. Are you over capacity? Why not just get the 3500? Nice video! Lastly, did you use a programmer on your speedo? Thanks
The Achilles heel of the truck for sure.
How do you know he’s wearing a Speedo?
Just curious how you like this setup compared to the Carli w see Pintop in the gas Super Duty you had in the past.
Looking forward to “La Diabla del Buhanka”
Confused, wasnt this truck purchased originally to be a heavy duty ranch truck? Now another overland build?
The Ram is a sharp truck but I love the Buhunka.
did i see a Series 3 Land Rover next to the Buhanka? not sure ive seen it on the channel. whats the deal with it?
lot of squat in the back should have taking that in to account before the lift
On this video what kind of fuel mileage did you get?
Here is an idea for the Aluma trailer! Add a 10 inch tall in-between trailer bed layer containing nothing but Li-Ion EV battery cells and connect it to a EV truck or car and see how much BATTERY DRIVING RANGE it can contribute to an EV trip. Make the battery cage on the trailer strong enough so you can drive and carry an SxS/UTV or other heavy load on it.
I would say that about $25,000 to $35,000 USD worth of high end LG or Panasonic Li-Ion battery cells could turn that Aluma trailer into an massive EV BATTERY EXTENDER trailer setup for ALL types of EV vehicles!
See if you can ask Ford (Lightning), RAM (eVolution), Chevy/GMC (new EV trucks) if they can get you a hardware computer update to allow you to CHARGE the EV vehicle FROM the battery trailer while you are driving!
If Ford, RAM, Checy/GMC won't do that change, it shouldn't be that hard to get a local electrical engineer to make a SHUNT or BYPASS circuit to FOOL the EV vehicles into charging from the battery trailer while driving! (i.e. hook into the hill or stop'n'go power regeneration circuit so the incoming battery trailer power fools the computer into thinking the battery trailer is part of the power/braking regeneration system so it continuously recharges the main vehicle battery WHILE driving!)

Dosent change the fact that electric is trash an overpriced just go buy an rc car
@@nathanhill6042 I have driven MANY EV cars and trucks and when a Tesla Model Y can BLOW AWAY a Porsche 911 Turbo in 0-to-60, I think EV shows it is truly KING of the FUTURE ROADS !!!

02:15 why are the coils binding?
That’s why those Rams suck! They barely have just over 2,000 lbs of payload. Trust me, they’ll be over their limit with the 3 people and some gear in there.
And i guarantee these guys "camp" in hotels!😂
First tow? Again? You and David, Alex and Frank already posted a video of it towing. In fact, it was towed at least twice if you include the video of it going to AZ already. The order of content being released is very confusing. 🤔
2:53 is that an old series 2 or 3 Rover??
I’d rather have that cool van over the truck. And for the money I could have a few of those vans for the price of that truck.
When you strap down on your trailer try Chris crossing your straps left to right and right to left, I believe it to be safer. Just my opinion.
Payload loss with all of these mods? Does changing springs or adding airbags change the max legal weight GVWR according to the DOT or other law enforcement? What about insurance - if you get in an accident and need coverage / protection?
I’m sure this’ll be popular, but one has to ask what their net worth has to be in order to responsibly afford this.. To buy a $70k truck and then throw a bunch more money at it and then take it into the boonies and use it. Anyone that’s not already a millionaire probably shouldn’t be thinking about doing this kind of thing.
If It's a 1992 It's not soviet, the USSR fell in 91
Made a BIG mistake. Should have gotten the F250 Tremor 6.7 Power stroke. Not enough payload for the RAM.
you already towed that old junky Ford electric junk
You have created a rich boys toy . it not a truck to tow and work every day in a heavy duty way . Do a real test get a stock truck and pull a hot shot and a live stock trailer loaned to the max . Do a side by side test for 400.000.0 miles and compare the repair cost and down time . I will bet the stock truck will come out on top . Real tests matter not pulling a recycled bear can 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dan, Sorry you're poor.
I would call this more of a do it all build. Sure you are sacrificing towing capability to a degree and increasing wear and tear, but it’s now far more capable off road. Obviously you wouldn’t run 37s and 17s if you are towing as heavy as you mentioned, but for lighter towing and some off-roading, plus comfort, and a cozy place to sleep, this truck checks all the boxes.
Plus this is the off-road channel, not the stock truck max tow capacity longevity channel.
Meanwhile, Dan is boning Gabes mom again in the camper.......
@@paulwiest8167 that is a good point. Expect offroad focus and builds on an off-road channel
