GMC 2500HD instead of a Ford F250 for our 5th wheel...

OK, went out today wanting to get a Ford 250 to tow our Highland Ridge 5th wheeler LF315BHS, with a weight of 8900LBS. Now, the F250 only (in our opinion) rides conformable if it is the Lariat edition...

You mentioned ride quality... I am not sure about the newest Fords, but mine (2008) and similar Fords have a rough ride - when they are empty. Loaded up it is great!

In my experience Dodge and especially Chevy have a nicer and more comfortable ride when empty.

I find that my 13 F250 rides just about the exact same as my friends Silverado 2500 - pretty much a toss up in my mind. I will say that the solid axle front end seems to be more stable while towing heavy than the GM IFS.
