Re: 3.73 or 4.10

Mine has the 3.73 and does a fine job pulling my LQ horse trailer. Not sure on the weight of my trailer but it's 35' overall length and the GVWR plate on it says 18K. I don't think it's anywhere near that heavy though; that would put me close to or just over 26K GCWR [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img] My "guestimate" weight with two horses in it (that's all we normally take) is somewhere around 14K. It has upgraded axles and tires on it. Similar trailers to it didn't have GVWRs that high. I really need to weigh the outfit at some point to take all the guessing out of it.

Overall, though, I have often thought that having the 4.10s would make it even better.
