Based on my limited experience driving the company '03 F350 6.0 diesel I would dump yours for sure. All my personal trucks have been Chevys, some diesel, some gas, and all have given excellent service. Now that I drive this Ford I'm convinced more than ever no to buy one myself.
Have you driven any other trucks much? Any besides Ford? If I were contemplating RVing all over the country I wouldn't even consider using the Ford I drive for work. It starts hard, idles rough, has no power, handles bad, pukes coolant, etc.
When purchasing a new truck in '12 I test drove the Ford Super Duty and RAM trucks. Kicked the tire on the Chevy, but decided not to even bother with a test drive after reviewing the interior and hideous DEF tank hanging below, an otherwise too low frame.
1.5 years/38k miles later and so far it's been a great truck. My dad on the other hand is a long time dyed in the wool GM fan and is still hanging onto his 05 Duramax (The ones known to overheat) because of the looks on the current gen trucks.
