Go for either truck with the Max trailering package. For the GM it's called the NHT package. For the Ford it's the Max Tow with the Heavy Duty Payload Package.
If you want Ford then you will probably have to special order it because you hardly ever see a properly equipped F150 on the dealers lot.
However, I have seen a lot of GM trucks with the NHT package with the 5.3
If money was no object and I had to have a half ton I would have a new LTZ Silverado with the NHT package and the 6.2 V8. 2,000 lbs payload, 12,000 lb tow rating. Nearly the perfect HD Half ton.
JMHO ... I love the Ford trucks but the new F150 doesn't feel as planted to me as the Silverado.
Thanks!
