All the OP has to do is take a short drive from Illinois to the Elkhart, Indiana area, and see what the drivers that deliver 5ers for a living are driving. At the motel where I stayed , 17 out of 20 were RAM Cummins duallys, 2 were Chevy DuraMax duallys and one was a Ford.
I live just down the road from Holiday World and Camper World and I see 2:1 Ford and RAM trucks towing trailers in and out of these facilities. I'm sure this activity is a combination of customers and delivery trucks.
In addition in the last two years I noticed the oil field equipment companies are now mostly using Ford F350's for pulling serious oil field equipment on goosenecks down to south Texas. The oil business is south Texas is on! :B
Also there are hot shotters that are getting in on the oil field business right now, and I agree these guys mostly ran Dodge trucks with manual tranny's for years, but again since the new Fords are getting better fuel mileage with auto tranny's there has been more and more Fords now popping up in this industry as well.
