Your GVWR is 16250 - pretty light for a 41' rig. That's about what my old 37' toy hauler weighed and it was fine with my 2004 CTD Ram. My current 5er is 19000 and it definitely wasn't OK with the 2004 Ram. In 2011 the Silverado 3500HD was the only one spec'd for that weight so I bought that, but I believe all the big 3 can handle 16250 now.
Buy a dually - you'll thank me.
The 2010 Ram 3500 Dually with a 4.10 was also Spec'ed to tow that weight. My HR had a. GVW of 16,950#, loaded to 16,050# - NorthernNeck_VAExplorerSo the way is sounds I will see a big change in the trucks from my 05 F350.
Thanks for all the input!!

Another thing to do is pop the hood on all three, that should help with your decision.
Agreed.... Paying special attention to the oil filter access if you service your truck.
When I look down at my CTD I can see the ground. Can you?
After 5 years and 125k miles and not a single repair on my PSD.... And being able to view the ground is a selling point...Yeah OK
Go change the oil on a 2016 CTD and give us a full report!
Actually it's a very easy job. Look at my post on the TDR "EASY! 2013 up oil change.
Oh and Ford has good tow mirrors. Kinda ugly IMHO but work well from many reports. Shifty_85 wrote:
The new ford 6.7 has a nice and easy to get at oil filter and fuel filter is pretty simple as well.
