The DEF is not bad. You get better fuel mileage to more than make up the cost, and something most people don't know about. All three have about the same amount of torque, 800 pound feet. On a dino the Ford and Chevy have about 690 pound feet of TK at the rear wheel. On the same dino the Dodge has 560. The Ford and Chevy rely on DEF to reduce the NoX emisions while the Dodge uses exhaust gas recirculation to reduce combustion temperature and the reduced temperature reduces the NoX emissions.

If those torque numbers are from the article I remember, the Ram engine was the older one, not the one advertised at 800 lb/ft like the others. Mine is the older, 2007 Cummins, advertised at 650 lb/ft. I've not seen a similar comparison using the newer Cummins model.
