Really, if you're looking at only 1 or 2 years of age and under 50k miles, things will come right down to ergonomics, features, and aesthetics. There really isn't any "Red-flag" for the most recent batch of trucks with those guidelines. All trucks have some form of exhaust brake. All trucks use DEF. Only thing notable is that GM has a 9th injector, so there's no chance of cylinder washing with their diesel. But still, I don't hear about fuel dilution issues with Fords or RAMs either, since going to DEF.
So if I were in the OP's shoes, I'd sit my butt in all 3 maker's vehicles, see what I like and don't like interior and feature wise, then see what sacrifices I'm willing to make for the best bargain I can find.
Yeah, the CP4 issue is still out there (Ford and GM use this pump in their diesels), but updates have been made to the pump to harden the failure points of it (like diamond like coating). I personally haven't heard drama of one falling apart and ruining an injection system in the last couple years.
