If you're buying a new truck then I'd say all 3 makers are doing pretty well right now. If your talking about a used truck the stay away from Ford 6.0 and 6.4 diesels.

My '01 Chevy 4x4 dually had an 8.1L gas engine and got about 10 mpg.
My '05 Chevy 4x4 dually has a Duramax diesel engine and gets about 16 mpg.
