I'm in the same boat!!! I only have a truck to tow my boat to Havasu 4 or 5 times a year. My V-10 only has 59000 on it.

I traded a 2004 F-350 for my 2009 Chevy Duramax and regret it every day. My Ford would run circles arond this chevy and this chevy rattles in the dash,brakees squeel and NO POWER,What a dog!! I am taking it back to the dealer one more time, There are experts on those 6.0 motors that know the in & outs of the "problems". They did replace my head gaskets under ford warranty, but from what i understand they figured out how to avoid that problem. I am no expert,just miss mine!

I've got an '04 crew cab dually 4x4 6.0l. For sale by the way. Had some issues with it, but Ford has stepped up and fixed them all. They also provided me with a warranty until July of 2011 or 200K whichever comes first. It really depends on the truck as to what rpobelms you may encounter and how they were fixed.
