The Chevy 6.0L Vortec engine is supposed to be pretty reliable and you should have quite a bit of payload allowing for a fairly decent sized camper (up to about 13K lbs) to be pulled down the road. Pay a mechanic to do an independent inspection and keep a close eye on the front end components, brakes, tires, and of course drive components. if I had the chance all all checked out, I would trade. Don't forget that at 100K miles all heavy trucks may want a front end, tires, brakes, hubs, rotors and such so these possible expenses have to be factored in but the Vortec engine is supposed to be pretty bullet proof and this is coming from a Ford guy.
