Straight from the Super Duty Order Guide ^^^^ are correct about 3.55/4.30 in 250 and 3.73/4.30 in the 350. Interestingly, the 6.2 is only available with 3.73/4.30. The 250 with 3.55 also has a lower tow rating than the 350 with 3.73. These lower ratios seemed to start in 2020 with the 10 speed transmission. Me thinks Ford is trying to improve their fuel mileage. It makes some sense that Ford would pick the 250 to try for better mileage since it has a derated GVWR.
Correct. And keep in mind that fuel mileage savings is across the entire build fleet of gas F250’s. The consumer will never see the savings. And you have a lower rated truck to top it off. Unless you are buying a gas F250 to drive solo on the highway, always opt for the lower gearing. Even with the 10speed it will be a better performer!
