As others have posted - get an idea of the size and weight of what you plan on towing.
Consider - that you *may* want to upgrade to a heavier trailer sometime. Will your TV be adequate?
Sooooo - which tow vehicle?? -
A friend is a Ford man - blue oval forever.
Wouldn't have any other brand.
BIL is a Chevy/GMC guy - nothing but a bow tie will do.
I have had an equal number of each (cars/trucks) - never a Dodge.
My present TV is a 1T Dodge CTD. Very satisfied.
BTW - I have a 2005 - and, IMO - you can't see much of the engine on newer CTDs either, LOL!
Anyway...*NOT* being brand loyal.....how did I choose?
(I would do the same again - if I was looking for a new TV)
My suggestion for you also...
Spend time on the diesel forums for *EACH* brand.
(Plenty of gas burner forums also)
See what the *owners* are reporting/asking/etc.
Problems? - Return for warranty work? - Down time for same?..:@
Search out the good-bad-ugly for each.
Then - start your shopping & pricing plan/s.

I have spent time on the forums, this one included. Heres my take you got the fan boys, and the bashers, not much in between. There is no way a forum can decide for you.
IMO the diesel forums are the worst of the bunch ,here again the fan boys, and the bashers, who do you listen to.
Best advice go drive them ,figure your budget, and pick the one you like the best , looks ,feel or whatever. I will guarantee you ,you can get the best you have ever had or the worst with all three. If you don't believe me refer to paragraph two ,and go read those worthless forums when it come what to buy, this one included.
