Well folks, now that I am totally confused:h:?. I am still pondering the Super Duty with the 3:31s but will continue to look for the "perfect" truck for my needs. Not sure exactly what that is but I guess I will know it when I find it.:B
I want to thank everyone for all of the suggestions and advice, it is greatly appreciated.

The rules of physics haven’t changed.
A lowered geared truck will ALWAYS tow better than an identical taller geared truck while consuming more fuel. The reverse is also true.
One may be ok with the lower performance of a taller geared truck, and that can be ok. Just stop pretending that there is no difference.
A lower geared truck does not tow better than a properly geared truck. For example if a 3.31 axle ratio can tow a 15000 lb trailer up a hill at 75 mph at wide open throttle It will be out doing a 3.55 equipped truck that is otherwise identical towing the same 15000 lb trailer up that same hill.
