Definately should be looking at a F350 over the F250's listed. Ford upped the weight capacities quite abit in the 2005 model year. A V10 in a gas Ford is a capable gas motor.
In a GM the 6.0 I have read is capable.
Don't know about gas Dodge's.
As to the Ford 6.0 diesel. It's known problems have been well documented. I wouldn't be afraid of one if it has been "bullet proofed".
I don't really know anything about Dodge or GM diesels.
Any vehicle is a gamble with the kind of mileage you have mentioned. That said, my 2003 F350 had 127,000 miles on it when purchased. It now has 167,000+ miles. It has needed some work, left us stranded once, but has been trouble free for the last two years. Although it was stolen this summer, we fortunately got it back. I still think it is one of the best vehicles I have owned.
Good luck on your search.
