See the thread started down below.
Price is arbitrary and it will come down as dealers get more in stock. You missed the fact that it has a 4:1 reducing transfer case, automatic locking differentials, auto disconect sway bars and a few other features that make it very capable off-road, probably the most capable truck of the modern era. (relax BZ, Vulvas, Mogs and Landcrusiers don't count!) Dodge engineers have gone to school on the new Jeep Rubicon and borrowed a lot of those features to make a standard 3/4 Dodge Ram a lot more useable off-road. Don't hold your breath for a Cummins to be found anytime soon, that extra weight is a problem for the front suspension when off-road. Maybe in the next re-design, but not now.
