I hear you but the EPA requirements on the new trucks still makes me nervous. It's not a brand thing but a EPA thing. The diesel engine was a pretty reliable engine until the EPA, now most of the time we send a truck (class 8)to the shop it's regen system related. Seems like 9 out of 10 times and fixing regen systems is expensive.
Like the Chevy trucks, heck my paycheck comes from hauling their parts. RAM 3500 is coming out with air ride rear axle which is about time. I'm sure the others will soon follow. Personally, I always seem to seem to end up in a Ford truck.
I own 3 vehicles. My F350 is just to tow my 5er. If you don't have any payments I'd hang onto the truck, find the car you like and wait a couple of years to see what happens in the "truck wars". Give them a chance to get some of the bugs out of the EPA restricted diesel. IN registration is like $120 a year and insurance is also pretty cheap on it cause it's not listed as a daily drive.
Good Luck.
