Pulled the trigger
Finally pulled the trigger and retired our 2003 Suburban 2500 with the 8.1 liter, and purchased a 2019 F350 Lariat with a diesel. The suburban has 223,000 miles on it, still pulls our 2020 Keystone Passport 2950bh like a champ, but it was just time. Purchased the F350 with 22,000 miles on it, and look forward to putting many more on it. Thanks for looking and safe travels.

Well a 7,800# TT, you will be checking the mirrors often to make sure the trailer is still back there!

You had great experience with the GMC why change to a Ford?
I am not shooting down any brand just curious.

It was the best deal for what we were looking for, I have been a Gm guy all my life, but my buddies have been pulling with Fords for quite a while and have been happy. They are all great trucks nowadays.
