Well, with that budget, you can certainly get a new rig. Especially if you bide your time and wait for a decent sale. Rule of thumb is that without a sale, you should be able to knock of 10k from the sticker price on a diesel.

However, if any dealers have a left-over previous model truck, you can probably get it for a deep discount. RAM's trucks are currently the bargain king. You could probably deal a bit for GM's since the current truck has been out for a couple years now as well.
Also, be aware of other buying options. If you have a USAA membership, they have a purchase program. Same with Costco membership. Thats an alternative route you can go for buying if you don't like bargaining.
Keep us posted!
...and I think you'll find you can get the Ram Cummins for about $10K less than the Ford. Both are great trucks but the price of the Ram and the proven Cummins engine swayed my decision.
