I have just about every diesel out there and can tell you after test driving and pulling my 11k Baja outlaw with both the 2011 Duramax and Cummins this is what I ended up buying hands down.

The feel and looks of the new dodge made it an easy choice. I did not like the way the Chevy felt pulling a trailer and the room in the rear is far superior even in the reg crew cab in the Dodge.

I used to pull that boat when we raced it as Snakeman.
Pulled it with a duramax dually, and you didnt even know it was back there.
On my 5th duramax now and they keep getting better every year.

I think the King Ranch has a bathroom in the back too.

We have a 2008 GMC duramax and it pulled the wheels off our 42 Fountain. The 47 not so much. I looked at a Denali and love it too; however, I'm a big fan of tacky faux wood too.

I looked at all three and went with the GMC for looks, power and options. The Dodge is more a work glove rinse it out with a hose when you done look to me.

Denali will not tow a 42Fountain. Do you still have the 47? You need a class 4, 5 or 6 truck for that.

GMC makes the Denali in 2500/3500 and with DRW now it will pull a 42 no problem. I still have the 47 and it man handles my current 2500.

Do yourself a favor and try the 2011 Ford, it is a fantastic truck in every way. I've had mine since May and every day I appreciate it more. Mileage, power, safety, transmission, quietness, fit and finish. All the new trucks seem to be great, going to be a hard decision.
