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...

I am bias, but if you look at the 43 foot fiver I am towing with my Dodge, you would be impressed. I can drag almost 20,000 lbs up a 6% grade at 65 mph. Food for thought. 800 lbs. of torque...


Assuming 28k combined, that would require over 400HP. Tuned?
