Back and forth between F250/Ram 2500
I don't want this to turn into a brand war, but I know it will. I was set on the Cummins. After driving one it felt a little "dull" to me. Interior and options are fantastic as is the dependable ...

The Ford will feel and probably is faster than the I6 Cummins. Any V8 diesel will power up faster than a torquey inline six. As to your question about why I bought a Ram over a Ford or even GM.
I bought the Ram because at the time (2012) Ford was having issues with the CP.4 HPFP. And GM wasn't offering much in the way of rebates. Ford was denying warranty claims when some got water in the fuel. Apparently the warning system didn't warn the drivers in time. Repairs were running at $10,000 and up.
Ram still uses the very reliable and less sensitive CP.3 HPFP. Almost never hear of any CP.3 failures. GM and VW have had the same issues but repaired them under warranty. I also had some negative warranty issues with Ford on my previous F150. Was a Ford guy forever but after hearing of the issues with the CP.4, and all the trouble with the 6.0 and 6.4 as well as the way Ford handled some warranty issues on my F150 I switched to Ram. Couldn't be happier. As far as where its made goes. Well those U.S Ford union workers sure didn't stand behind me with my F150 problems. I'm pro union but just because you're union doesn't mean you do everything right.
