Hard to decide what to buy. I was looking at a Ford 250 and 350 PSD yesterday, since they didn't have the 450 on the lot. My wife liked the 250, I thought maybe a 350 SRW, with Tow Boss, and the salesguy said that they priced out a fully loaded 450 at 62-64K, and would be more than happy to deal to lower the price. For 64K I figured maybe a Freightliner M2, but for 100K why not buy a real tractor. Back to reality my 2500 DA works great with my current 3000RK, but I think we will start seriousily dealing on a F350 SRW, providing they get the tailpipe fire situation under control with 6.4l. I am also going to go with a shortbed with a superglide hitch. (Eventhough I always encourage people to go with a longbed). I would get the Chevy but I just can't handle that huge chrome bumper. I am preparing to move up to a 3400 Tana at the end of next year. (At the moment we are under a very severe tornado watch, so it may be wishful thinking all for naught, county over is getting 70mph winds so hwo knows).
Good luck.
