I'm looking at two trucks and I'm having a hard time deciding. One is a modestly equipped '16 Ram 2500 CTD Tradesman and the other is a loaded '16 F-150 XLT 3.5L EcoBoost. I assume they will both tow a decent sized travel trailer, but I'm not sure what decent sized is. which one will do better? I will be looking for something between 25' and 30', and will be towing both short and long distances. My vehicle is also my mobile office and I drive about 30k miles a year. I've driven both on short test drives and they seem to ride okay, I didn't note a whole lot of difference. Which one will do better from a longevity standpoint, and which one will have better resale in 3-4 years with high miles?

The Cummins will blow the doors off of any F150 when it comes to towing and longevity. Not even a contest. Resale will also be better on the Ram because of the Cummins. The extra you spend on that option comes back on resale, unlike the extra you spend on bells and whistles.
