All jokes aside they all make nice trucks. Not sure about your pricing as I would have to compare trim levels. Ford offers the eco boost 6 cylinder as their big motor, obviously Ram offers the hemi (they do have the baby Cummins as well) and GM offers a V8 or the 3.0 Duramax. Ford and GM are farther ahead in the tech game but Ram’s interior is the nicest. Ford does brag however about their aluminum frame. Not sure if that is important but it does eliminate weight.

To me it comes down to features and local dealer support.

The HD trucks is where we start seeing the bigger differences and choice and preferences become important. Ram has the Cummins, which in my opinion is the top diesel today. However the Ram truck is way behind in the tech department, not offering HUD or the the surround view camera system etc. Ford has the biggest pulling numbers and are now bragging about being able to haul up to 35k I think. I just bought a 2023 factory ordered GMC Ultimate Denali 3500HD and the difference in price between similarly equipped Ford or Ram was inside $1500. I liked the Cummins but really liked the enhanced tech GM was offering and I don’t mind the 6.6 Duramax. As well I really like the 10 speed transmission in the GM. Ford hauled more but that wasn’t important to me and I am not a fan of the Powerstroke. Ram still only offers a 6 speed transmission in their HD trucks.

Again they all make nice trucks. It really depends on your needs and finding the truck that meets those needs.

FYI, trucks cost more than C8’s…
