"Disclaimer" - I'm a Ford guy.

That being said both Ford and Chevy make decent trucks. If they didn't they wouldn't be in business (I'm ignoring the gov't bailout).

I vote for the Ford your looking at for no other reasons than the weight issues AND (here's the big one) the Ecoboost 3.5. From personal experience I know that that engine makes gobs of power and not just at a high RPM level. I tow a TT that dry weight is 5500 with loaded weight around 7000, give or take, and I'm very happy with it. The only reason I have to go slow up hills is if there is someone ahead of me.

Have you driven both of the trucks? People who haven't driven the EB aren't aware of the power available at the low RPM range.
