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 have a 2014 Ram 3500 dually with the high output Cummins diesel and the heavy duty 6speed Aisan tranny and the factory air bag option. I tow a 40.5 ft Raptor which weighs in at 17k fully loaded. I insured I had the truck to pull my 5er in all conditions with no problem. I am way below any of my weight limits.
