It's consistent.
The problem is, with trucks there is no good choice. I've been putting off getting a new truck.
Ford has had timing chain issues, gm has had afm issues, ram also has lifter mds camshaft failures.
I would use that until warranty is out then do mechanical delete.
So get a gas 3/4 ton or up. You can get them for the same price as a half ton, better everything (except MPG) with the gas motor and Ford and GM do not have AFM in their 3/4 ton and up gassers.
You cant get a comparably equipped one for the same price. You have to go down at least one trim level to get one near a half-ton price.
Not a diesel but the gas ones sell for about the same out here. Most people want the diesel so will deal on the gasser. When I was looking they had two LTZs on the lot one 1/2 gasser one 3/4 ton gasser there was 580 dollars between the two. 53,000ish each. the diesel LT was 63,000.
