I drive a 99 chevy silverado, but work at a ford dealership. Both vehicles will last you well over 10 yrs with the proper care and maintance. Not sure if it matters but towing around 7,000 lbs is going to bog fords 5.4 ltr engine and chevys 5.3 ltr engines down, so you may want to look at a chevy with the 6.0 or a 2011 f-150 with the 6.2 engine, in the SVT Raptor the 6.2 makes around 400 hp more than enough to move 7,000 lbs plus ford has standard trailer sway control.
