FYI: You could have just unhooked the battery. It would reset the computer. Then you could have rolled the windows up and turned on the heat. It would probably malfuntion again when you start driving but at least you get the windows up. Just a little tip for anybody else in that situation. 🙂
Good item to call out. I did try that and it didn’t do anything. When I got home even left off unhooked overnight and nothing the next day.
Welcome back Cass! I wondered where you'd disappeared to but very excited for your new Ram. Very good information re the Tundra as I've been thinking in that direction. Hope all goes well with the retrofits. Keep all of us posted.
Will do! Thanks for watching!
good to see you back on video, Cassie! Safe travels. Looking forward to your adventures with the new rig!
Thank you!
Wow!! This video really drove home (no pun intended) the amount of work you had to put into finding the right truck. So very happy for you! Can’t wait for the 1st trip!!!
Thanks Tobiah! Hopefully soon!
Congratulations on finding the truck! Can't wait to see the new adventures!
Thanks! Hopefully soon!
Congrats! How exciting for you. Looking forward to your new adventures.
Thanks Mike!
This news is very exciting! Can’t wait to see the rest of the build out and see you and the children back on the road!
Thanks Jimmy!
So happy to see this video. We were wondering if you were ok. Congratulations on your new truck and sorry you went through what you did with the Tundra. Look forward to seeing your updates. 😇😇😇
Thank you very much!! Hopefully more updates soon!
Welcome back. Missed your content. Cheers!
Thanks Johnny!
love that truck! Glad to see you're getting closer to being back on the road and able to camp pretty much wherever and whenever!
That’s the hope! And thanks!
Congrats on the new truck! 🙌 Also congrats on getting near to finishing your graduate degree! 💯🙌 I have always admired your adventures! Happy trails!
Thank you!!!
Glad to see u back! Sorry to hear about all the trouble with the Tundra, but so happy to hear you got what you wanted with the Dodge. Can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks!
Congrats on your new truck ! Exciting, I’m happy you found what you were looking for
Thanks Amir!
Congratulations on the new truck!! Thank you Tails of Wanderlust!!
Thanks for watching!
WELCOME BACK!! Another AMAZING VIDEO!!
Thank you so much Frank!
Very informative review. Congrats on nailing your purchase. Look forward to see how the camper loading works out.
Thanks Greg!
Really glad you are back, missed your videos. Hope you enjoy your new truck.
Thank you!
Nice wheels! From all the points you relayed in this video, you did more than your due diligence in making sure you got what you wanted/needed. I’m glad you’re happy with it and that’s really all that matters. Enjoy it and wishing you safe travels!
Thanks Lis!! Appreciate you coming back to check out the video!
That's one very, very nice truck you got there Cass.
Oh the memories your going to make in it.
It's good to see your cheerful, positive, uplifting personality on screen again.
Thanks Donald!
Congratulations!!! I did almost the same, but bought a Ford F250 Tremor from a dealership in Utah and took the chance for a road trip from San Diego to Salt Lake and back :-). Building mine out for a camper that is on order and will be delivered next summer. But that allows me to mod it for offroading and weight. Enjoy the truck :-)
That’s exciting! The Tremor is a beast of a truck
Congratulations on the new RAM. As I watched things came to mind that you might need know but then one by one, you brought up each point and covered all the bases. From the harsh ride of an empty 3500 to engine size for hauling, you did all the research and due diligence needed. Great choice and you don't need any advice from the peanut gallery. A larger camper may be next..
Thanks Brian! Appreciate you watching all the way through!
Nice Review! Happy Trails.
Thanks!
Love this! I hope you post more soon on your new adventures with your truck camper! I love watching your videos and keeping up with your adventures.
Thank you Kaitlin! Really appreciate you watching the videos!
Congratulations!Exciting adventures coming soon..!
Thank you!
Good to see you back! Congratulations on your new vehicle. 😊
Thank you!
Electrical issues are a nightmare. My last vehicle had all kinds of weird electrical gremlins. Putting my window down would lock the doors, fan speed for the HVAC would randomly change without touching the dial, etc. Fixing one thing would break another. It drove me nuts. I was so happy when someone crashed into me and totaled it
That’s so frustrating!
So happy for you!!🎉
Thank you!
yeah glad to see you back!
Thanks Sheila!
I'm so happy for you! Great rig and great video!
Thank you!!
Congratulations. May you have many enjoyable miles ahead. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!
Awesome purchase! Solid truck and is a beast for towing. Great stock but even better once you let that engine breath. Extremely comfortable too! Happy trails!!
Thanks Chad!
Great to see you in your new truck, which looks and sounds like a really good fit for you.
Thanks Dorit!
Welcome back!
Thank you!
You were missed Cass! Shame about the Tundra, but happy you’re back on the road with your new RAM - it’s a beast!! Looking forward to your next vlog - stay safe out there 🙏😉
Thanks James!
Your knowledge and insight into your truck and the options available is amazing. Half the time I didn’t understand what you were saying, but you said it with such conviction that I wanted to take notes….!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate that!
So nice seeing you again. Missed you. Sorry to hear about the troubles with the Tundra but what a great truck you found to replace it. Rams are awesome vehicles.
Thanks Carl! Sure hope it lasts a long time!
🤩 You've learned a lot about trucks!! I've forwarded to my daughter due to the sensor problems on your Tundra. They had similar problem on theirs! Glad you're back. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Really hope they are able to figure out their sensor issues!
GREAT decision on the truck! I have a 2022 Ram Rebel and absolutely LOVE it! In my 53 years and over a dozen vehicles in my lifetime it's been the best & most reliable vehicle I've ever owned!!
That’s awesome! Love hearing that!
Glad your back!
Thanks!
I enjoy your videos. Best of luck with the truck!
Thanks Howard!
Congratulations!🎊🎈🍾🎉

What an ordeal!!! Glad you have your new truck back home safe and sound and I can't wait to see what it looks like with your camper on it.
Thanks!
love my 3500, so excited for you!!
Thank you!!
That is so awesome, Cass! Congrats on the new truck! In the end, it was better that you held out for a far better truck for all the things you want it to do now...and in the future. Enjoy! :)
Thanks Kendra!
Congratulations on the new truck. I've initiated my start my putting down money to have a mercedes sprinter built as an rv. Once the build is done I will be selling my home and hitting the road. Your videos have been helpful and inspiring
Oh nice!! Sounds like you’re able to get it customized then. That will be amazing
You will love your RAM. The seats are comfortable and I agree with your comment. My back never bothers me even after 12 hours of driving.
So glad to hear you experience that too! Best part of the truck so far.
Nothing close to new, but I liked my 99 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 regular cab. It would go anywhere. It had the 318 V8, and 5 speed manual transmission....unfortunately a local dealership screwed up a clutch replacement and made a mess of things, luckily I got their idiot mechanic's "diagnosis" in writing so when stuff went south they go their mess of a truck back. I should have kept it but at the time, I was just done with that dealership's poor customer service and the lack of support. It was a pretty comfortable riding truck too...pretty decent fuel economy mid to high 20's on the highway, but it was a terrible tow vehicle due to the 3.55 gearing...they really should have 3.73's at a minimum for a truck equipped with the factory tow package....which if I would have kept the truck it would have gotten 3.73's or 4.10's, and a limited slip.
Glad you're back ! You went Dodge! ♥️ Since 1996, I've had two Rams trucks and still can't part with my 2009. Totally about comfort, power and capability. Can't wait to see you're next excursion.
So glad to hear RAM has done so well for you!
Congrats on your new truck! Safe travels 🙂
Thanks!
Beautiful truck🎯. Congrats on your perseverance & research👍👍.
Thanks Mike!
Congratulations on your new truck! Sorry to hear about your Tundra disaster... I really do miss your Base Camp posts~ Safe and Happy Travels!
Thanks Patt!
Good job on the new truck! Glad you went full size!!
Thanks!
Congrats!!!! Beautiful truck 👍😊
Thank you!!
Congratulations! That's a helluva truck! Got a 2500 Laramie in the Night Edition earlier this year - absolutely love it for my AS Caravel! Would have loved a 3500, but at that time options were pretty slim. Safe travels!
Sounds like an amazing combo you’ve got!
Congratulations for your new truck it sounds that you love it. Stay safe enjoy
Thank you!
Oh hell yeah. That thing looks like a beast!
It definitely is! Thanks for watching!
I was worried about you. I see I need not worry because you have everything under control. Love the new truck. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for thinking of me! Thankfully all is good 👍
Happy about your new truck. I have a 2010 Tundra and I couldn’t do without it.
That’s awesome it’s treating you so well!
Been missing you and your fur babies.
There are so many options for that truck through AEV and Carly sounds like a good suspension. Your truck won’t even squat when you put the camper in.
The Cummnins engine is a real truck engine. It’s easy to work on and it’s built to go 1 million miles as long as you look after it.
Can’t wait to see your new videos!!!
Thank you so much!! Excited to get this thing set up and get back on the road!
I have a 2019 2500 with the Cummins and air suspension pulling a 36ft 5th wheel. I do not have the high output and it is smooth. I am at the top end on payload but you would never know it. Just had the CP3 done last week and it is a little smoother on acceleration. I ran Hot Shot with the CP4 and never had a problem and have 59K miles on it. Great truck, you will love it and it will pull anything you hook to it!
They did your repair no problem? Shops are telling me there’s a hold on the 2019s right now.
@@TailsofWanderlust yep, we are in eastern VA. The parts are available but in limited qty. I understand they are releasing a few to each dealer monthly. They kept the truck 3 days. I had to go get something out of the truck and spoke with the mechanic. He said it was only the second he had done but they are a small rural dealership. Hot Shot in each tank and pick your dealership and stay in contact. You will love the truck!
Very nice purchase. I have a GMC 3500 SRW and I air up and down when not carrying a payload. My trailer calls for the max of 65/80 front and back but when I'm not hauling I go down to 45/60 and it really makes the ride better.
Good tip thank you!
Good tip thank you!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
Can’t wait to see your new adventures with them furry babies 🥰🥰😻
Thanks!!
Congrats on the truck and glad to see you back... actually you started crossing my mind last week and I was wondering where you et al were.
Thanks for checking in!
Congratulations, I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie and I love it.
Thanks! So glad it’s treating you well!
Sweet ride - congrats!
Thanks Billy!
Congratulations! Happy camping!!
Thanks Todd!
Congratulations on your new truck, it is beautiful!
Thank you!!
Nice truck glad to see you back my son has been looking for a new Tacoma in Maine there are very few crazy times.
Such a crazy truck market. Hope he finds a Tacoma!
Congratulations!!!!! Beautiful Truck!
Thank you!!
Missed you cass!! Glad you’re doing good! Always love seeing you’re story and big blue eyes!! Stay safe and enjoy you’re adventures ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Beautiful truck. Great job
Thanks 👍
Awesome and good luck 👍🤘❤❤❤
Thank you!
Congratulations on your new truck happy for your.. and good luck on your master degree
Thank you!
Swap out the diesel tank for a 52 gallon S&B tank. Fits in the OEM spot. I get around 700 miles per tank.
That’s amazing!! Good to know thanks
Welcome back, I was wondering what happened to you! Nice truck!
Thanks Terry!
Congratulations on your new truck, it is truly a "beast" and you will be able to explore to your heart's content. You're a remarkable person and your videos are first class, we appreciate the update and look forward to hearing more from you. Bless you and safe travel for you!
Thank you very much Tom, appreciate that!
Wow. Great looking truck - especially the interior. I'm going through the truck debate myself after 5 years in a Sprinter and wanting a truck/custom slide in. I actually fell in love with the truck idea (to replace my Sprinter that I've never had 100% faith in) because of wanting a Tundra to get into quality I truly trusted.... and then I discovered the Payload issue. I had never appreciated all the pros/cons/differences between the truck models and brands. Funny. the mission started because I was yearning for a Toyota and here I am researching Ford's because of the F150s payload. Best of luck with the rest of your project. We enjoy your content for the well-thought-out ideas.
Thank you so much Graham! Good luck on the truck search. I went down the truck research rabbit hole for months. So much information out there it can be overwhelming for sure.
Nice to see a knowledgeable woman speak about pickups. Hell of a truck young lady 💪🏼🇺🇸
Thank you!!
Glad it all worked out, except for the delayed wire transfer, and it sounds like you found the perfect vehicle for now and the future. Guessing that Alaska is back on for next year with your current setup. Enjoy break, can't wait to see what the camper looks like, and see both truck camper as one unit. Until next time... Travel safe.
PS... give Jasper a hug, and Napoleon an ear scratch for me.
Definitely will give the two boys some pets from you! Thanks Brunnie!
@@TailsofWanderlust BTW... thanks for the tip on how you found your truck. I'm beginning a search for one for us for our adventure.
I know this is nearly a year late, but worth mentioning for those looking at trucks with modified wheel/tires.
If your speedometer was showing 75 but your GPS shows 84 (as you mentioned), that means the truck has a lot more miles on it than what the odometer states.
With your example, that means when the odometer hits 80,000 it is really 89,600 miles. When it hits 100,000 it is really 112,000 miles.
If you change your oil ever 6000 miles (per the odometer), you are really changing it every 6,720 miles.
If you haven't done so already, get the computer flashed to be in sync with the tire size.
Welcome back Cass, we missed you!
Thanks Vladimir!
I started watching because of the 4Runner content and that great trailer. Thanks for the videos. Good luck
Thank you!
Outstanding Ram you don't have to worry about payload anymore!! Great Truck!!🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
No kidding....the Tundra contrary to what a lot of people think, is quite weak in the payload department no matter which model you have, without airbags in the back they have a terrible amount of squat for what Toyota pretends to be a 1/2 ton truck...that's one huge negative I quickly found with my 08 Tundra was the soft springs in what was supposed to be a "work truck" model. Also, wasn't impressed with the multiple rear axle bearing failures, and the multiple front differential howl/growl issues it had which both issues were known to Toyota and were actually TSB's but luckily got fixed on mine under warranty multiple times, at 104k I got rid of the truck as the extended warranty was up and knowing how often those issues would resurface themselves I didn't want to deal with it out of pocket. Didn't care for the IFS either, it was horrible on roads I frequently had to travel.
So true! Excited about not worrying about that
Wow that's a nice truck! Ive had my 18 Ram 2500 from new, bought it as a leftover for under 50 grand. You should have good luck with it, I've only had two small issues, thermostat with was covered under warranty and I swear the factory tires felt like they were square but a fresh set of duratracs solved that. I agree the payload on the 2500 is pretty low but coming from a Tacoma it's a big improvement, I mostly bought it so I can tow pretty much anything I want and my bigass dog has plenty of room after I removed the rear seat and built a platform
So glad it has treated you so well! That is really good to hear. And dang you got a steal on that. It’s incredible what truck prices are today
Congratulations ☕️...Great choice Rams are the best 👌
Thanks Mark, appreciate you watching!
Great choice - one of the best things about that truck is the Cummins engine. Yes it’s a beast, but it’s also an extremely reliable engine, fuel pump notwithstanding. I had 2019 2500 Ram with Cummins and it ran like a top and I got reasonable good mileage - 18 mpg on highway.
That’s awesome. Mind me asking why you got rid of it?
@@TailsofWanderlust I traded it in for a Ford transit 250. Only reason was because the van better fit my needs. The Transit can carry same weight or more, and for me (I refinish furniture and other woodworking) it was easier to load and unload wood, furniture, machinery etc., van also protects load from rain so I am not limited to moving things on sunny days.
@@John-ye4nv ah makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
Great truck!
Thanks!
Hey. Right on!! Just found your channel. Like the truck for sure, and you're awesome also. God Bless!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
I love the truck! Missed seeing your videos. I knew of several dealers in Florida I could have gotten you in contact with for your truck search
Thanks!
