American Expedition Vehicles revealed a trio of its next-generation vehicles during the 2019 SEMA Show, and you couldn’t miss them. No really, with such a vibrant green hue painted on every model, you really couldn’t miss them. Especially not the new 2020 AEV Prospector XL, the company’s largest vehicle that’s based off the new 2019+ Ram HD pickup truck. There are several attributes that define the new Prospector XL, which is set to launch in Q1 2020. Buyers can choose between either the Ram 2500 or Ram 3500, equipped with either gas V8 or Cummins diesel engines.
Standard equipment on each 2020 AEV Prospector XL off-road pickup truck is as follows:
- Winch-ready front bumper made of stamped steel w/ nodular iron recovery hooks, low tube, skid plate, and light bezel. The bumper also works seamlessly with the OEM front parking sensors and fog lights. There’s also a winch delete kit.
- High-clearance cross-link polyethylene flared fenders, allowing for a massive 41-inch tire, and front/rear LED marker lights. Toyo 40-inch M/T tires are standard around AEV Katla wheels.
- AEV’s 3-inch DualSport XT Suspension System, which retains OEM coil springs, suspension tuning, and geometry. Upgrades include a “High-Steer” kit, Bilstein 8100 Remote Reservoir Shock, and hydraulic steering upgrade.
