 I looked around and did a lot of research looking at Chevy, Dodge, Toyota and Ford.  I needed a truck that my wife would love to ride in and that would get the job done.  We needed a half ton truck to pull a travel trailer and for everyday use.  We didn't want or need a 3/4 or one ton truck. I wanted the max towing that any half ton could offer and Ford won hands down.  Got the max tow package with the 3.73 rear end, trailer brake, etc.  It will tow 11,200 as a half ton.  Incredible.. It's fun to drive, does the job and the interior rivals my wife's Lexus RX-350.
