I don't buy it, but I could be wrong. You can barely buy a fully loaded 1/2 ton for that.

This was a big factor in my decision to pick up a Ram 2500.

I couldn't get anywhere close on the other trucks when pricing them last year. I actually preferred the Ram for some other minor reasons as well so the decision was easy for me. It was pretty easy to find a Ram Tradesman with the options I wanted and much more difficult/impossible to find an XLT with similar options, and the prices were way to far apart to justify. I personally only care about the more "utility" options rather than some of the creature comforts. The must haves for us were; Tow mirrors, anti-slip diff, back up camera with a good screen(not the 2x2 rear view mirror one), etc. My truck doesn't feel or look "bare bones" at all and I've been more than happy with it! A similarly priced Ford or Chevy would have been an absolute work truck with zero options and probably still cost a few thousand more.
You are right though from my shopping experience on pricing and it is a shame.
You say that, my 15 Big Horn Dually 4wd, I paid $48K out the door.
