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...

The best dually hands down is the RAM. Dual air induction, best commercial grade transmission, most durable engine (don't believe me ask Ford why they offer the Cummins in the F650-750 but not the PowerStroke) strongest frame and many other class leading items and numbers. This spring they will offer rear air ride suspension on the 3500 duality's.

Bottom line try each one out with 45psi in the rear tires and 75 in the front so the ride can be judged equally.

Oh yea best looking also!
