If I had it to do over, I would like to try the GM cutaway . I towed a 6500# TT with a 2016 Silverado with the 5.3 and HD tow package and it had plenty of power on the hills with a combined weight of 13k or so. The new 6.0 should be fine in a class C.
Both my old B conversions were GM's and they were a pleasure to drive over 200k miles and they did offer more foot room for the passenger. My wife never complains about the lack of space in the Ford but I have heard others mention it was tight.
My friend owns a diesel shop and strips and rebuilds medium duty trucks to sell them. Talking to his customers who also drive pickups all say that the Ford and GM's are equally balanced as far as dependability . I think the GM parts might end up being a little less expensive over time.
