You will probably end up with a Ford, simply because there will be more of them out there.
IMHO, a 1-2 year old used truck is what I like to call a "sucker truck." Dealers want near-new prices for 2 year old trucks with 30-50k miles on them, and will not budge an inch on the price.
When I bought my 2015 Chevy, I ended up paying LESS for a brand new truck with 10 miles on it than I would have paid for a similarly-equipped 2013 truck with 35,000 miles on it.
When the first thing the salesman asks you is, "Have you looked at used?" when you go in looking at new trucks, you know something is up. If they can hook you for that 2 year old used truck, the profit margin and commission is much higher.
