Aww heck might as well throw mine in here too. We have both and Dodge and a Ford. WE did have a ford one ton with 4:11's before that and that is how the Dodge is set up as well. The Ford we have now is a one ton with 3:56? 3:70? It is a 96 3/4 ton so what ever they put in them is what it has. Dodge will pull a load easier and hold it's speed and RPM better than either of the other. Usual loads are around 15k-20k on gooseneck trailers. Ford one ton would average about 13 mpg empty and about 9 loaded. Dodge one ton will get about 15-16 empty and 11-13 loaded. Running empty most of the time at about 65-70, loaded around 55-60. The Ford 3/4 ton will get about 17-19 empty and around 11-12 loaded. Fords ride and drive better but that might be because the Dodge has the solid front axle and sits up like a 4wd. All of these are 1996 trucks so their wasn't am major change in them for comparison. WE had more trouble from the Ford one ton than we have had so far on the others. Ford 1 ton had 90K on it when we sold it, Dodge has about 90k on it now and the Ford 1 ton has 179k on it.
