Price comparrison

I just went to the Ford and Dodge manufacturer sites and built comparable trucks.

2 years ago, the price difference between Dodge and Ford was close to $6k for near identical trucks.

Now it is more like $1500, and that price difference seems to have been made by Dodge.

2 years ago when I started looking, a base model ST dually 4x4 with a couple of extra goodies was $36k. Now it's a little over $39k.

I was pondering stepping up to a 3rd gen for the power difference, since the body styling was finally growing on me, but that price jump is enough to keep me happy with my 2nd gen.
