Your thoughts on the 5.7 hemi tick

have you priced a new cummins lately? an absolute stripper 2500 with the *small* cummins is 55K

(i've been truck shopping the last several weeks)
Man, I had 7k 5 months ago, and 5 Christmas before last. This is BS. But I see ads that say " New to the Country, don't speak English? We will put You in a Truck Today!" I'll copy and paste links if I'm doubted...
