2012 ^^^^brings up a good point! In the standard bed HD trucks, all is not equal. The GM has longest distance from rear axle center, to back of cab, then Ford, and shortest is Ram. For this reason, and buying gas, I'd suggest Ford with 7.3 and 10-speed. You can get a B&W, non-sliding hitch (3300) to fit factory puck system. Light wt, adjusts ahead/back, and very user friendly.

GM, a good second choice, similar hitch available. Ram gas is good, but may cause clearance issue, limiting hitch choices.
