I know it's not a fun car, but I spent the last week driving a Dodge Caravan with 6 teenagers in it. I beat the living snot out of it at every moment and secured my spot again as the "cool chaperone".

Legend says that on last years work camp trip my rental Caravan caught air over the train tracks in Eastern Kentucky. (Didn't really happen, but legend says it did. )

As far as the three cars you ask about- it won't matter which you choose unless you drive all three. Each is going to be a great car compared to what you usually drive (probably), but there will be clear preferences between the three.

Thanks.

My everyday driver is a 2004 F250 with a bullet proofed 6.0 and has a straight pipe and a leveling kit.

You are correct, all three of those cars will be drastically different.

I rented one for a San Francisco trip a few years ago, and was pleasantly surprised by the power, and what a good open highway car it was.

With it, I surprised more than one of those jerks who floor it when you try to pass.
