Relying on the collective wisdom of this group for guidance. I do not have any strong brand loyalty beyond american made -- concerned about driving experience, ride comfort, towing capacity for the quoted trailer, and reliability. Make your proposals.
Pretty well set on a diesel, but convince me if I am wrong.
Trailer is 40' UVW 14344 lbs
And location Denver, CO. Lot's of off track discussion here, but bottom line, 1 ton SRW doable, DRW preferred based on size and weight combination.
Ride comfort, all 3 brands are like sitting in a 400+ hp 1000 ft lb living room especially with the higher trim models.
Gas v diesel, someone suggested gas would be ok. Based on your address and budget/taste, a gasser would be a horrible decision.
Reliability? I won't go there and you can read all the pros and cons.
Personally today, right now, I'd take a 2021 Duramax. Ram fixed the CP4 problem, so Ram 2nd, but not in favor of trans. 8 speed is on the near horizon. Ford, 3rd, well because of the CP4 and because I've talked too much sht about Ford over the years to buy one, although it will do a very fine job as well.
