I'm almost 39, and I would sell my home in a heartbeat to move into one of these full time. Been trying to get the wife to agree to it for years, the older we get, the closer she is to agreeing. Maybe one day soon it will actually happen. The one and only thing I'd love to see offered in the Hilt is a washer/dryer combo. Would round out a perfect package!

Like I mentioned on Instagram, this rig gives me goosebumps….i really Really REALLY LIKE IT! “It’s smart knowing that a tomato is a fruit, it wise knowing not to put it in a fruit salad”….truer words were never spoken buddy! Always my best to you two 👍🏼👏🏼🖖🏼🥰

Great video, great filming. I saw the tour video already & it was nice to see this showing how it actually functions in different situations. Those outside lights sure made it easy to see when pulling into that spot at night. Nicely done guys, if I was Storyteller Overland I would be extremely pleased with this video.

Gotta say I love that fresh water supply as I love clean dishes. Though for $450K I'd want the option to lose storage space in lieu of a dishwasher drawer. Gone with the Wynns have a great video on deciding to include a dishwasher in their new boat.

This is definitely my 'if I win the lottery' vehicle but I feel like with all of that work they put into it, they could have added at least 2-3 more inches to the over-cab bed based on looking at the profile. I can sit up completely in my Winnebago Warrior overcab bed :)

Diesel exhaust is toxic to human health and bad for the planet. Not even close to a perfect rig. A single oil spill, Deepwater Horizon, killed up to 150,000 sea turtles, over 1,000 Gulf dolphins and countless other marine organisisms. The spilled oil has still not all been cleaned up and the total cost will be well over $100 billion.

Great video as always! Interesting expensive rig. Hard to believe they don’t have a conventional toilet with a black tank, instead has the smallest cassette toilet made! With 4 people you’d be dumping that every day and with more and more restrictions on where you can’t dump cassettes that would be problematic.

I always enjoy your reviews even though I have no interest in selling my Promaster. I was interested in this one as we’re in South America and Europeans love huge expedition vehicles ( you can buy them used for $100,000 if they don’t want to ship them). I don’t get the pleasure of dealing with the size but you explain these things really well.

Interesting review guys, as always! I wonder why for this price and size you would get a vehicle like this one which is basically an oversized pickup rather than a real truck like an MAN, Mercedes, Saurer,... Fuel mileage at 10mpg isn't much better than a real truck which will come in around 7-8mpg. What's the turning circle of this RAM? Cheers, Chris
