Agreed. My F350 SRW with the 6.2 and 3.73 used to pull the Work & Play in my signature. Around town isn't too bad. You're not going fast. Once you hit highway speeds, it was not a happy camper. Nothing like doing around 60 mph and when you hit a decent incline, it would drop down to third gear screaming.
That's why I bought the diesel.
That's barely 4000 rpm at 60 mph. The 6.2 not even working hard at that point. 4000 rpm with a engine that red lines at 6000 rpm is not screaming.
I drive a F550 with a power stroke that's screaming at 75 mph, it's truning 3200 rpm it red lines at 4000 rpm.
To the op if your going to tow it alot with it go with the 4.30 if not the 3.73 will work fine. Both are a good gear with in that truck.
