F350. I know there are lots of differing opinions. I'm from a GMC
family, it's treason for me to buy a Ford. But I got recommendations
from several of the most experienced truck experts around, including
the transport guys at Rousch Engineering, and they all said F350.
After a year of driving mine, including the All Aluminum Tour I'd say
F350. I just came back from San Diego in it, wasn't hauling a trailer,
but I got over 16 mpg. When I haul a trailer I get 14.
