All over the forum I hear this argument that half tons cost the same as three quarter tons. I didn't see that when I shopped. There was roughly a 10-12k difference. Either I got a great deal on my half ton or you all get great deals on your three quarter.
From my shopping experience, with equivalent options and configurations a half ton may cost slightly less than a heavy duty gasser or $4-6k less than a heavy duty diesel. To me that's not a very material difference in the scheme of what you'll spend on a truck with everything factored in (up front cost, fuel, insurance, maintenance, tires, etc).
My Ram is a basic model and cost less than most crew cab 4x4 half tons despite the Cummins.
