Re: 3.73 or 4.10

I recall looking on Edmunds and the 20" wheels are not available with the camper or heavy suspension package or was it the other way around? Either way tells me that they can't cut the mustard for heavy loads!

These trucks are meant to haul and if you want a show truck then the F-150 might be a better option.

I am considering a DRW mainly to get my rear end lower like the F-250 and be more stable when pulling 5th wheel. My SRW did a fine job with my current unit but I may go with a high profile 5ver next time. I imagine the 4.10 would help a lot. My only reservation is lower fuel economy with the 4.10. I wonder how much.

Nope I got the camper Pkg. Oh and just so you know, My truck is NOT a show truck, it Hauls my 10K trailer anywhere I want it just fine.

The only towing problem was at Hwy speed (70 MPH), cause of the larger wheels/tires (34.1" vs 33")that Ford put on and did not take into consideration it changing the ratio, it is running at a lower RPM than it would if they were stock.
