That and, pick the truck you like the best out of the big three that meets this criteria. They're all equally as good and shitty as each other but you'll be picking and choosing what problem you want to deal with. If you do your own maintenance then the RAM platform is hard to beat compared to a Powerstroke/Duramax. The Cummins engine itself of any year RAM has always been highly regarded as being dependable, some years more than others.
Really for the 5th gen RAM the only issue you're potentially looking at is a CP4 pump failure which is currently recalled anyway so chances are it'll be replaced under warranty and replaced with a CP3. The later 68RFE's are a league above the 68RFE Pre-2019 models I've been told as well.
Otherwise all of the trucks have more or less identical emissions control systems so no matter what brand you go with. Seems to be a function between how you use the truck and luck as to how long they will last.
