All three are good brands,and there are lemmons in each one.If you can find a used truck in great shape,it will not matter to much who makes it.The thing to look at is 2500,3500 and single or dually.I would go with a 3500 even if you think the 2500 would be enough truck.It gives you wiggle room when purchasing a TH,not to many people I know go down in size in their next trailer,just keeps from having to upgrade truck again.If you are looking at anything over 12k,start thing dually.They drive so much easier and give a great 'safety' feeling when driving in any wind bad roads,downhill,etc.I've towed with both and pull a 8k trailer daily.The worst decesion I made was getting a 2500,kept it 1 year and comming down the hill from Flagstaff,it went all over the road....ASAP I went bigger,F450,and dually.Its supposed to be fun when camping and it was'nt with the 2500.For the little price diff,go big..JIMO..See ya on the road...
