HD Diesel Cost Comparison
It seems Ford and Chevy/GMC have always been a tick higher priced than Ram but that "tick" seems to be growing. Maybe it's that Ford and Chevy/GMC both just rolled out redesigns of 2017 and Ram didn't but wow is the gap getting big.
I know we all have our favorites but from what I see we're talking roughly 8K less for a Ram than a comparably equipped Ford or Chevy/GMC.
PLEASE...... Oval and Bow Tie fanboys in the "I wouldn't drive a Ram if it were free" hahahah camp..... save your breath. We all have a price and we all know what you like. Like I tell my 7 year old... let's try to focus :)
To be fair I am currently in a Ram gasser and pretty much keep a finger in the wind as to prices. I'd for sure being going diesel if I were to change. I came out of a Duramax which was an amazing truck and had a Ford years ago and would gladly buy one again. I also have driven Toyota, Subaru and Nissan for extended periods so obviously I have zero brand loyalty.
My only loyalty may be a bit more cost savings with the Ram as I have some accessories that would swap to a new one which only further widens the cost gap for me.
From shopping Dennis Dillon Ram vs. GMC a 2500 4X4 Denali GMC is around 60K and a Laramie Ram can be had for around 52K. I haven't found a good source for bottom line Ford pricing (please share if you have one) but from my poking around it seems to be very close to Chevy/GMC.
In a nutshell I just find myself wondering is a Ford or Chevy/GMC 8K better of a truck? I know many would (and probably will) argue that for same money it's a better truck. That 8K is just a HUGE chunk of $$. Essentially, it's the difference between a gasser Ford/Chevy or a diesel Ram. I haven't actually shopped that but as I type this that thought is obviously crossing my mind.
