I like the look of the new fords, but everyone I know that has one gets terrible mileage. I know several poeple that have 450's for horse trailers and all are getting 9-10mpgs. The Duramax/Ally combo is hard to beat, and I have grown to like the look of the GMC front end more.

I have a big heavy boat and it pulls great. A good friend of mine has a new GMC 3500 duramax/allison and we have towed with it. If your apache is heavy (which I'm sure it is) and you were disappointed with the F450, you won't like the GM. The 3500 barely makes it up hills in Wisconsin (which aren't that steep) with my boat/trailer and it is way over the tow rating.
