GMC Sierra 5.3L V8 6 speed auto 315HP - 15/21 MPG city/highway (better than the 4.3L V6, 4.8L V8
Ford F150 4.6L V8 6 speed auto 292HP- 15/21 MPG city/highway
Although if I were regularly towing a boat I'd probably want the bigger motor in the Ford, it gets 14/18 MPG 320HP, and has the 6 speed auto as well.
All these numbers are theoretical, of course, but my first choice is the GMC.

This is the numbers for the 09-10 Dodge ram 1500 (5.7l Hemi with MDS)
18/29 mpg 396HP!!! & 404FTlbs!!! Won't find that with the other 2 IMO. And for a moderately equiped truck it's also cheaper.
Of course I've put a super charger on for another $6200 for 610hp
. Gone through 2 transmissions but they installed it and gave me 3yrs powertrain and the clock goes back when have to replace it!!
I'm byist of course I've always liked dodge/mopar
