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've been towing this 40'er for the past 7 years and it does quite well. Yes it is a SRW but it is a 1-ton which I am sure you will need. I do have ride rite air bags (20 lb of air) and I have upgraded tires this year to 19.5" Michelins.

Enjoy the road. We do.
