I'd do a modded Duramax diesel with an upgraded Allison tranny in a HD 3/4ton fully loaded Chevy. I'd rather have the Ford in the diesel anyday, but both are rather overkill for pulling less than 4k lbs at most. Plus something smaller in the garage never hurts. Not many people around here has had good luck with keeping the 'strokers running past 100k miles without dumping some serious money into it. Where you get that info. My moms stroker is 10 years old and we did the first major work to it which was a 400 dollar fuel bowl that got a hole in it. My dads other stroker didn't make it to 100 before I flipped it and my dad has an 02 stroker now with no problems to so far, neighbor has an 03 with no probs either ya his mom's is still alive with somebody else though! after somebody took it and gave it some serious cpr after mk got done with it!
