Ford's Trailer Reverse Guidance camera system has been extended beyond conventional trailers to also work with goose neck and fifth wheel trailers and the Super Duty now gets the Pro Trailer Backup Assist that is on the F-150.

Thanks for the info guys!!!
I have been a Chevy guy my whole life, and quite frankly, I have had really good luck with mine, and I don't have anything to complain about. The Allison is an absolute beast of a delivery system.
I was super excited when I heard that the 2020's were going to have a 10 speed Allison. That had for to be the ultimate towing transmission. And, with almost a 1000 ft-lbs if torque, it shouldn't have any issues either. But, that bubble was burst when I learned that the 10-speed is not an Allison, but rather an Allison
branded transmission. Not that I don't trust GM, but I KNOW that a true Allison transmission would be bullet proof.
Then, Ford comes along and puts down a 1050 on torque, backed up by a 10 speed as well. SMH. There is one thing that I like about the Ford, and that is the interior room, as they are a little bit bigger. It also took Ford a while to realize that there is no replacement for displacement, so that's a strike on their best practices.
I have always liked the styling on the Dodges as well, and had a second generation 12 valve Cummins that was an awesome pulling machine, IF you wanted to only go 55 MPH. The tranny in that thing was terrible. And, while I realize that that have improved them, my son in laws father had a newer dually that proved otherwise. I don't think a Dodge is in our future.
That narrows it down to Chevy vs. Ford.
But alas, a NEW truck isn't in our future either. Don't have the bank right now. Hence the reason I needed to research older trucks to figure it what is what, and make sure that whatever we get will pull safely. So, that leaves me with getting a Chevy, or a Ford with a 6.7. Just not new...
