Rear end ratio? If its a 3.42 then no. If its a 3.73 o 4.10 you will love it.
Really???????
My combined is 28K with 3:42 gears. It performs great! 9.5 hand calc average West Coast Towing.
Pulls 6% grades at 55 or more.
So whatever the gear ratio with the size of RV he is talking about will be no problem at all!
That terrable! My 4.10 rear ended dually gets 11.5-12.5 hand calculated all day
You're pretty lucky. My 2010 with 4.10s gets 8 mpg towing my 28K combined. Can't complain about the power, but 8 mpg hurts.
*edited to mention that, like the posts below, I didn't buy the truck for fuel mileage. I complain about it, but the power advantage far outweighs the fuel mileage issues. It takes fuel to make that power.
