You have 3 different truck choices to choose from, and 3 different diesel engines to choose from. It's all up to you. I prefer Ford's 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. I'll help you make a decision. Read below.
FORD 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 - Ford really has confidence in this new engine. They have gave over 20 trucks with this engine out to Halliburton, Florida Power and Light Company, Reynolds Ashpalt Company, K&K Ranch, and Texop Construction. So far the trucks have around 30,000 miles and no problems. The engine really looks good on paper, but only time will tell to see how well this new engine is. I myself really have confidence in it. (note: Ford's diesel is no longer made by Navistar/International. Ford is building their own in-house diesel engine now.)
Chevrolet/GMC 6.6L LML Duramax Turbo Diesel V8 - This also is a new engine. It produces slightly more power than the 6.7L Powerstroke from Ford but who knows which engine really is better. I feel that General Motors is finally catching up to making a good truck like Ford has been doing for over 50 years. This new 6.6L Duramax should be a good engine, but once again, only time will tell how good this engine is.
DODGE 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I-6 - I have no doubt that Dodge and the 6.7L Cummins can't even hold a candle to Ford and GM's diesels. The 6.7L Cummins is known for many problems. I'll name a few: mushrooming heads, turbo failure, clogged DPF (diesel particulate filter), cooling manifold failure, bad fuel economy, etc. Also, Chrysler and Dodge's quality ratings are down and it really shows when you put some wear and tear on to a Dodge pickup truck.
Like I said above, I am prefering Ford's new 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel.
