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.
We are still driving our 05 3500 because it has been a great towing truck for us and no need for it to be replaced. It will outlast our rving days I think.
