Are you reffering to aftermarket bolt ons? Or OEM parts being cheap?
There seem to be more because of the rep Dodge carrys, its always been bigger faster louder than its competitors so finding Bolt on HP parts are alot easier to come by then a F150 with the 5.4. You just dont see alot of people spending money to make their F150 fast, If you searched f150 lightning you would find more Bolt on HP parts.

But as for the parts being inexpensive? Then you must have enough money to fund my projects too? There have been very few parts that i have came across that are cheap...

Its you if comparing performance but 3G cosmetic parts are reasonable. forums classifieds are a good resource for parts. I would say 90% of my mods were brought used.

I haven't priced go-fast parts, but aftermarket body, trim and interior parts are very inexpensive for 2nd and 3rd gen Rams.

Cheap? Anything but. You get the first two or three performance parts pretty cheap $100-200 range. But when you start putting the serious performance parts on, you are looking at an easy $600-1000 for just one part. Start building the engine, and you are looking at the cost building FAST! I'm not sure about the price of ford or chevy...never cared to own one. But one thing is for sure. No matter what the vehicle, going fast is not cheap. When it comes to body parts and stuff. Yeah, you can always find them cheap.

Yea cosmetic crap is cheap for almost any vehicle. I mean you can go get that stuff at any auto parts store. But if actual maintenance and performance parts were cheap then no one's truck would ever break down lol

Yeah lol, my friend owns a F-150 Lighting and he tells me that parts for his truck is not cheap compared to others.

Only thing is so expensive for the truck is wheels and tires. or Suspension lifts.
