Default Noob here trying to decide on next truck. Any advice is appreciated

Hello all, I currently have a 2004 Dodge 2500 with Cummins. It has 280k and getting worn out cosmetically so I am anticipating buying another truck. I am having a tough time figuring out the best route to go. My options are new Dodge 2500 or 3500, 2015-16 Ford, or 2003-2007 Ford 6.0 bulletproofed. Obviously the first two are way more expensive. One thing to consider is the Dealer I would by used from gives lifetime power train warranties on all vehicles within the last 8 years under 80k miles. It seems like I'm looking at 15-20k for 6.0 bulletproofed in excellent condition, 40ish on the used 6.7 or 50k for the new Dodge. Any advice is well appreciated. Thanks in advance

No I do not want a 6.4 at all. Preferably not a 6.7prior to 2015.

I bought a brand new 6.4 in 2008, had it deleted at 62,000 miles & it was stolen at 109,000 miles all i did was change a water pump. My 2013 FORD 6.7 had to change the radiator.
