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...

Nope...The only after market item is S&B cold air induction. Other than that, bone stock. 4:10 geared and pulls no problem. You know its back there. I won't say it's the same as when I tow my 4000 lb. boat. I have taken up the grade on Virginia 64 and cruised up to the top. Heck, the new Ram 3500's are rated up to 30,000 lbs of trailer... Mine is only rated to 19500. It's the torque... HP is only 350.
