One thing to consider is the transmission in each truck. The tranny in the Ford is the same one behind the Power Stroke and the RAM tranny is perhaps not the same one behind the cummins.
Last but not least, the Ford is "Made in the USA" and the RAM is "Made in Mexico" .
Good luck... Maybe you need your wife to be the referee. :B
No, the trans is not the same as the Cummins uses and there's no reason to want it to. The 6.4 uses a very reliable unit as well.
Ram trucks are also made at the Warren Truck Assembly in Warren, Michigan, United States.
Besides, as long as a quality truck is made in N. America I don't care.
The OP was asking about a 2500 model and I believe all of these are made in Mexico. I believe this is a detail one should consider when making a truck purchase.
Then you should consider that only a small percentage of a Ford truck comes from the USA. While it may be assembled here (and in other countries) the parts come from all over the globe.
So that's not really something to get hung up on.
Don't tell me but perhaps tell that to these
folks.BTW... Ford trucks are the most American made truck and the full size trucks are only made in the US.
LinkSo yes... It does matter! :W
