I recently was in the market for a new truck, but did not want or need a 3/4 ton or a diesel engine. The first truck I drove was an extended cab, 5.4 liter Ford with the towing package. It was a very nice truck...Lariat with all the options. However, it rode like crap, the seats were absolutely the most uncomfortable I had ever sat in, and it did not seem to have any power or acceleration. My 2004 Dodge with the 4.7 liter engine performed much better.
So, I looked at and drove a GMC (because I don't like the looks of the new Chevys), also an extended cab, 5.3 liter, with towing package, but not as expensive a model. Long story short, I bought the GMC. It rides better, the seat is much more comforable (I have a bad back), and it runs MUCH better than the Ford. I guarantee you it will run off and hide from the Ford.
I have towed the Airstream with the GMC and it handles it great...much better than the short wheelbased Dodge it replaced. I know this is the typical Ford/Chevy argument, but I'm happy.
