2018 Ram Recruit

[edcircus]

Hi, I'm interested in buying a used Ram Recruit. Anyone have any feedback on owning one, downsides, negatives, positives, etc.?

I have a 2017 Recruit. Originally bought it because the Prospector XL wouldn't fit in my garage... Well, now that I have a dual swing arm bumper for the full size spare, doesn't fit anyhow! I love it. Get's me anywhere I want to go off-road, carries all our camping stuff with ease, and fits in parking spots better than a full size. I have ZERO complaints. Looks great, I get compliments on it literally daily. Real bummer is that sounds like AEV isn't going to re-up and try to build a recruit going forward so parts could get tough if something happens. Either way, LOVE MINE

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I've talked to AEV several times about future parts availability. They said they'll keep parts for replacement orders/ accidents, etc., although that will not include the AEV wheels I'm told.

Unless you’re doing some serious hauling the 1500 is more than enough truck for most. The AEV Recruit builds are so dialed in, you seriously can’t find a better package. Built specifically for this truck.
