Silly "what other truck would you buy" Thread!

So...just felt like asking this. I'm not planning anything, just expanding the 'ole knowledge base. If you had to give up the Ford, what other truck would you buy, preferably a 1/2 ton (but you can mention something else if you must).

I'm thinking for me, it'd be between the Dodge or Chevy, but can't substantiate that yet. The wife likes the looks of the Chevy. What say you??

If, IF it wasn't for Ford I'd probably get a Silverado. I would never get a Dodge.

Brand new? Probably a GMC then quickly mod it to look decent. Used? Probably a chev or GMC as well, like a 2005 or something. It's hard to think of not buying a Ford though.

New? GMC Denali.

Used? Probably a Ram with the 5.7L. Put aside $2,000 for a new transmission.

I'd like to know some towing info (numbers + real world experience) on the Chevy/GMC (same truck IMO) because I saw a 2011 lifted black one today and that thing looked good.

60" sleeper so you had somewhere to live when the wife kicked you out?

As long as she knows there should be no complaining when it does.
