Renting is a great idea. You might also want to try sitting in your truck in the driveway for a few hours straight. That will help tell you if it's the seat or the suspension that's bringing out the pain.
I recently traded in my 2003 Ram 1500 for a 2013 F150. Although both 1/2 tons, the ride in the Ford is definitely rougher (I attribute that to its higher payload rating). In any event, after a few hours in either truck, my back starts to ache. So for me, it's not the ride that makes me uncomfortable, rather it's the seats and/or the sitting position itself.
