F150 Again
I have an F150 with 7700# tow capacity. It has the 5L and 3.55 gears. It has the tow package. I am starting to look at for my next TT, and had been looking to stay at or below 5000# dry weight. Howeve...

It's only marginally better than 3.55. Not worth doing. And as already pointed out, 3.55 should be just fine for your needs.iagary wrote:
Skiles, by the way, mine is also a 2014 and does have the trans cooler, tow/haul and integrated brake controller. I wish I had 3.73 gears, but the transmission can take care of that IMO.
If you tow through hilly areas, I would get a 3.73 installed and then have the dealer re-calibrate the speedo (software change).
