this brand new 2022 ram 2500 behind me has a little bit of a lift kit
let's get a little bit closer and check it out we're just kidding these are 40
inch cooper sct pros and this is the 2022 aev prospector xl
so right away at the front of this massive truck you can see that we did go with the olive clear
coat on this paint job now this is a 2022 color and i personally think it looks great on this
truck this truck factory did come with a sport appearance group which means that you are going
to get this completely color matched nice black accents and then just a little bit of chrome on
the front piece if you had stock bumpers these would also come with olive bumpers but as you
can see we do have the aev hd front bumper you can see that our shackle mounts up here
absolutely massive and they're machined out of it looks like one inch thick solid steel
if you get this thing stuck and you go to pull out of these locations you're gonna have no problem
yanking on these we retain our factory fog lights all of our front parking sensors and everything to
keep this ram cooled and still functioning the way it was from the factory house inside this hd front
bumper is a worn 16.5 cti edition winch it has synthetic rope and is also capable of pulling 16
500 pounds out now what the cti stands for is that this is contractor grade so this is built
for heavy duty daily use if you get stuck and have to use this winch it's not going to give up
on you and it's going to work every time the way it should a 30 inch vision x standard light bar
is standard on this and these are dot approved and legal so you can run this tuck it underneath you
won't be able to see it but this also did include the optional intercooler skid plate which is a
bunch of tubing and completely designed material that goes underneath guards the intercooler that's
standard on the 6.7 liter cummins and keeps that nice and protected if you're bashing through the
woods moving on to the side what really impresses me with these aev trucks is that the massive
40-inch cooper discoverer stt pro really does fit the body lines it almost looks like it belongs so
i'll be right right up front with you it does look like it belongs with a truck this size
this tire and all the suspension work that they've done it really does fit and look proportionate to
how big these trucks come standard now on this you do have a three inch av dual sport rt suspension
kit that's kind of surprising to me it's only a three inch lift to fit this large of a tire but
they don't stop there with the suspension as you've noticed these fender flares here
are the aev highmark fender flares which include your three-quarter marker lights up front and in
the back to make sure you stay legal being that this truck does get a little bit wider
and what's really nice about these fender flares is obviously they are tucked higher
but they completely finish off the inner fender liner to make sure you're not getting any debris
up in under the hood or in the backside as well another nice thing is you can really tell that
they manufactured these properly right from the beginning because they do have a notch
right here at the door entrance to make sure that when you open this door it can fully open
and not interfere at all with these fender flares we've got some badging on the side aev prospector
xl and i will tell you guys if this is a lot of information right away from the beginning it's
a lot for me too we're going to include at the end a picture of this window sticker 2 from aev
so you can see every option on this truck because it really is impressive everything you get with
this unit with the truck this size a lot of time you can optionally put on the power side steps but
with this one aev did it for us so as soon as you open that door they will extend down giving you a
little bit of help getting up in i'm not that tall of a guy and i can say even jumping up to
there it's a stretch to get into this truck it's a cool unit once you're in it because you feel
as high as a tractor trailer but getting into it that makes it a lot easier as an aev option
so on the interior we do have the upgraded aev premium leather that comes with these nice fluted
sections in both the back as well as this lower section these aren't just seat covers this has
been completely reupholstered to embroider the aev logo as well on the headrest and really give you a
nice premium leather these are way way better than a factory seat i've seen a lot of seats
and i will say that this is one of the cleanest i've ever seen done now on this truck this is
just a standard cummins engine but they did option it and we did when we built it out to give you a
brand new uconnect 5 so this is going to be the 12 inch uconnect 5 on there you've got your standard
digital screen here your standard shifter as well as your shift on the fly transfer case which is
new for 2022 as an option we've got everything built in the same way a factory unit would be
just with the optional upgrade of these you aav seats here which are gorgeous and then we've got
some floor mats and a couple other goodies but that's enough here i'm actually standing on the
side step just so i can talk to you guys let's move on to the bed talk about some of the cool
things back there hey guys i hate to interrupt this video but i figured this was worth it
every spring and fall we run our tire sail which is buy three tires get one for a dollar you can
get jeep tires you can get truck tires all sorts of big and small tires whatever you need we'll
get a mounted and balanced here for you and it'll save you some money feel free to give us a call or
click the link in the description let's head back to the video so on this truck the back is just as
impressive as the front you can see that we do have our vertical tire mount housing a brand new
fifth and spare full-size 40-inch tire up there and this truck we did opt with the ram boxes so
these lock automatically with the unlock and lock fob and when you open them you've got plenty of
storage down here with a completely washable area that has a drain plug at the bottom and then close
it up and it'll lock up right for you one of the nicest things i like about aev is when they design
something they really do it the proper way this hd rear bumper looks so clean to me that this is just
a factory plus plus plus option it looks like this is something you could opt right at the factory
that's because it is you can have these built right on your factory unit and then just simply
have av do the outfit for you built into this we have the same recovery points built out of
one inch thick steel there and then we also have our recovery tubes building all the way down below
to make sure if you're sliding off an obstacle you're not going to bash in the corner of your
bed you're going to slide on these tucked away behind all of this tread to help you get in and
out if you're tall enough to get in and out of this are some baja designs lights that work with
your reverse lights easily pop it into reverse and now you have a ton of light on the trail but what
really makes it cool for me is you retain all your standard plugs your 7 pin and your four pin wiring
connector and then it's down to the little details like this billet led light for your license plate
i can say when i see things like that i am impressed it might not be an expensive part
but this versus a standard trailer light really sets the difference between aev and the rest
on the back of the tailgate they did this entire graphic with the red striping and the gloss black
vinyl in between av badging and then they actually took the cummins turbo diesel blackout logo off
the side relocated that to the back because you changed it with the prospector logo we'll drop
the tailgate here and you can actually see the ram boxes as well as our factory bed divider and then
our giant 40 by 13 and a half r17 cooper stt pro up in the bed how do you ryan how do you even get
how do you get into there i don't know how it would change a tire
after i pick up 150 pounds higher but i don't even know how i would
take a pretty decent jump and i don't want to embarrass myself right now absolutely an
incredible truck and if you guys haven't seen one of these in person if you're lucky with the area
come drop by and check this out while it's still here now i can imagine this truck is going to go
somewhere out west colorado montana heck maybe in pennsylvania if you've got some land and you
really want to put this thing through its paces and see if you can get a 40 inch tall tire stuck
in this aev prospector xl this one's been really fun for me guys when we get these in normally
they're right in and out because we have them factory order for individuals but if you'd like
to buy this one if it's still available feel free to give us a call or maybe even build your truck
out the way this one is or even factory order one definitely drop a comment below or reach
out to us we'd love to help you out and get you into one of these really cool vehicles until next
time i hope to see more of these aed prospectors in stock i'm matt from susquehanna automotive
