Not sure how the discussion became a 3/4 ton topic? The OP stated he is looking at 350/3500 Ford/GM.

And of course the diesel discussion is brought up. The OP is only pulling 1500 miles a year and stated he's had a diesel and does not want one. If anyone wants to anty up the add'l $10,000 for one I'm sure he'll take it.
From a spec perspective, the Ford is a better choice with 4:30 gears and the trailer is well within the specs.
