Ford versus Dodge truck for towing 40 foot 5th wheel

I have a 2009 F250 right now and we just purchased a 2012 40 foot Alpine fifth wheel. I am wondering if we should get a dually truck and if we should go with a Ford or Dodge. I have had real good luck...

Dodge has one thing going for it, the Cummins engine! With the new Asin tranny (8 speed), you should not have any problems. Ford has had problems with its engines and granny's and they will find any excuse not to stand behind them! I have heard that even if you have a tiny amount of water in the fuel they will deny warranty on the engine, even though in the US you can have up to 3% water in the fuel !
