I have personally been around & driven 2 of the new fords. 1 with 30k miles & the other is around 60k. Owners love them & they use them for towing and commuting. I can say they are very powerful . I would go with a ford if i had 50 grand to spend on a truck. The chevy has always had a decent engine and a good trans but, that front suspension is junk. It rides good but its a half ton design.
