While the 6.7 is the best one to date for a while and winning the hp wars, can't say I'd go with the oldest chassis, by a long shot, with the most complicated engine even if I was a Ford guy.
Plus while it won't matter in FL, the emissions systems require the most babying and manual regens and repairs compare to the other 2 with the Ram edging out the GM for emissions reliability in cold (arctic) weather or any conditions with excessive idling and short no load driving.
