The highest ratio available with the GM 6.2L is the 3.42, but I have the 3.73 in the toad in my signature. It is the NHT max tow package, not a grocery getter....:B
I see, the 6.2L and Max Tow Package comes with 3.73.
For 2013 looks like you have to get Max Tow Package on an LT with the 6.2L. It also says Max Tow Package tow capability is only 9400 lbs with a Crew Cab models and 10,500 lbs with Extended Cab models. That's pretty low for a Crew Cab "MAX" as my base 5.0L engine has a 9300 lbs rating. That might be a typo.
Anyhow, that 18.5 mpg is better than many smaller displacement engines as the Hemi in a Dodge. Doesn't make sense how they can be that much better than Ford with the same displacement, nearly the same HP and Torque, very similar transmission gears and ratios, and now same axle ratios. Very strange, are they using CNG in a hidden bottle to supplement the gas?? :D
