Australia's First MY26 RAM 2500 NB2: Full-Time Touring Build

This is the first MY26 RAM 2500 in Australia built for full-time touring — and it's setting the standard for how the new 6th-gen 2500/3500 should be done. Bronze accents on Granite Crystal Pearl, RSI SmartCap colour-coded to the body, Carli Pintop suspension, Falken 35s on bronze Method 305s — and the off-grid setup that lets the owners leave the van at the campsite and chase sunsets from the rooftop tent. We walk the whole build front to back — what's on it, why it works, and the NB2 maths that lets you tow 4.5t legally without payload starvation.
