30k is a bit over legal limit unless you are using a 4500 or larger Kodiak. I haul dysters and grain feed mostly from MN to CO for years using a 36' gooseneck. Tried it with a 97 dodge, 03, 04, 06 Mitsubishi I mean Chevy, and an 04 6.0 Ford. Only one I still have is the Ford. 48k miles the first year I had it and it has been a great truck. The D'max's did ride better, but its also the only vehicle I have gotten motion sick in as well. I do like the heated seats in the Chevy better.
Dodge pulled better for long hauls, but it's a piece of gold wrapped in a turd.
Chevy road the best and has the best creature comforts, but lacked longevity.
Ford good pulling power under the dodge, but better creature comforts and road nicer than the dodge, but not as well as the Chevy, but pulled better than the Chevy. IMO
Dodge went through 3 transmissions and 3 fuel pumps.
Chevys 4 sets of injectors, 5 transmissions, 1 front axle.
Ford put in ARP head studs, Bullydog IC, 3.5" MBRP exhaust, Personal SCT tunes
Dodge got the best MPG, but I never ran Bio Diesel in it like I have the Chevys and Fords.
I have to haul the legal limit of no more than 27k with the 350 with several weigh stations to go thru/past.
