Very happy with my truck so far.
You really don't see much difference with the 4.10 ratio. In the higher gears, which is where you spend most of the the time, the difference is non existent. On the lower end there is diminishing differences. So first gear is large, second not as large, third and by fourth it is almost the same.
The end result is it really isn't a big deal for fuel mileage. On the highway I get 17 to 20. If I'm doing 78 or so I get closer to 17, If I"m doing 60 I get closer to 20 or so. If I'm in stop and go where I'm never out of idle or second then my mileage will blow regardless so again, NBD. City mileage runs around 15 or so. When towing I get 10 mpg on average but we tow mostly flat areas around 60-63mph.
As for towing, I don't even know that the unit is back there. Sturdy, no sway, no push or pull when the trucks go by, nothing.
Very happy with the truck. Would purchase again without any changes.
