Re: Larger tires and towing
I cannot answer your question, as I have sort of the same problem. I want to let the 16 year old in me out with a new F250 I'm going to order, probably when the '02 models become available. I want to be sure that the 3.73 gears are capable of skinning up the tires with 285- to 315-size tires installed--whatever will fit w/o a lift. The 3.73 gears spun the factory tires for about 10-15 feet in a truck I test drove. I really think I need the 4.30 gears to play hot rod. I think you'll find the following helpful: www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html
