This year a Chevy 3500 dually work truck costs about the same as a ford or Ram but it is down about 9,000 lbs give or take in towing capability. I strongly suspect that in 2020 the Chevy will once again cost about the same as the ford or Ram, but will be able to tow as much or a little more than its competitors.
I don't care about cost in relation to each other, but rather cost increases year over year and why. If it is to make the truck more reliable at towing what I tow, then I am fine with that. But if it is because Ram spent most of their budget and time just to say they are "best in class" then I think that is a waste of money especially when they are popping out recalls on their trucks every other month.
There was nothing wrong with the previous frame that was able to tow 30k, yet Ram spent more money and time for a new one just to win a pissing match which will probably add to the cost of the new trucks.

I’m assuming you have a 2500 3:42 pulling that 14k trailer.
