It's a different game when it comes to diesels and towing. If you want a solid 4x4 tow rig GM isn't the way to go with their IFS. SFA's are only found on Dodge and Ford's. Ford has a solid powerplant in the 7.3, and the later 6.0's weren't too bad (if you got lucky enough to get a good one) The newer 6.4's are powerhouses but with that they get like 10mpg.
The Dodge has the Cummins, and anyone who has one will tell you that you pretty much buy the motor and it just comes wrapped in a dodge. My 07 is a torque monster, I love it! The only thing is the truck is kind of cheap feeling, doors feel like tin cans, and the interior is kind of crappy. I know the new body styles really stepped up their game in interior comfort.
I would love to have a Duramax, and the trans is bulletproof on those things but independent front suspension is a deal breaker.
