Being in the same boat I am also looking for a new truck. I use it mainly to tow a 5,000 travel trailer. I have a 2005 Tundra now but going for the Ford F150. There are great deals on the 2015 F150s if you can find one. I want the 36 gallon tank not the standard 23 and they are all but gone unless you go to a Lariat but I want an XLT. I have looked all over California and even thought there are deals on the 15's so many of the leftovers are bloated with so many items I do not want.
I am going with the 3.5 Eco-boost since I tow in the mountains. I would go with either that or the 5.0, both are proven motors. Is you are towing lighter loads there is the 2.7 eco-boost rated at around 7,000 pounds towing and there are deals on those now.
I test drove a 2016 Tundra and having had 2 of them I'm going back to Ford. The Dodge eco-diesel is not a performer and I would pass on that.
Since I can not find exactly what I want I'm ordering a truck from my dealer today. Eight to twelve weeks and I get what I want.
Best of luck in your search.
