You asked why the Ram cost less than the Ford? Ford and GM are made in the USA and the Ram is made in Mexico. Labor cost in Mexico is substantially less, hence the lower sale price.
Well then diesel Ford's should be cheap, as the Powerstroke is made in Mexico.
Note: They are now all world cars and trucks with parts coming from many places. Where they are assembled is not a good indication of where the bits and pieces come from.
Also Ford's cost more because Ford is making more money on each one.
Regarding the GM's, Ram's and Fords, they are all REALLY nice trucks now a days, and it comes down to which each person and/or mate likes the best.
