I have a 2014 srw short bed and was disappointed that I could only get, the 3.42 rear end. But after having it for a while I would not change a thing. When not towing, 3.42 is perfect., I get a a true calculated 22mpg at 70mph. When towing 14, 000 lbs I get 10 to 12 mpg. The worst I ever got towing was 9.5 mpg and that was bucking a 30 mph head wind.
Strong headwinds or hilly or mountain driving I lock out 6 gear.I think that gives me the equivalent of a 4.10 rear end. Driving in those conditions I still get around 10 mpg and can climb any grade.
If I had any choice of rear end, I wouldvgo with them3.42.
