I'm looking to get a new truck soon. This truck will be my daily driver and tow vehicle. Boat is a 2016 Supra SA. The information I have is that the dry weight of the boat and trailer is 6900 pounds. Currently driving a 2010 Tundra Crewmax. Here are the trucks I'm considering.
Option 1: 2017 Ford F150 3.5 Ecoboost supercrew 5.5 ft bed
Pros: Easiest to park and drive around town, lower maintenance costs, lower price, highest 1/2 ton tow rating
Cons: Lowest tow rating, horsepower, torque, and wheelbase
Option 2: 2017 Ford F250/350 Powerstroke crewcab 6.75 ft bed
Pros: Diesel for towing, tow rating, torque
Cons: Largest vehicle is harder to drive around town, maintenance costs, price
Option 3: 2017 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500HD Duramax crewcab 6.5 ft bed
Pros: Diesel for towing, tow rating, torque, doesn't seem as big a F250/350
Cons: harder to drive and park around town, maintenance costs, lower quality interior and fewer features than the Fords
Any thoughts on these... ?
