I think the original post was by a RVer in NJ. I'm sure the 6.2 with the 3.73 would do a decent job on flat lands. Pretty much useless in the west mountain country.
Do YOU PERSONALLY OWN OR DRIVE A 6.2 with 3.73?
I HAVE towed in MOUNTAINS, VERMONT MOUNTAINS to be exact with the 5.4 with 3.73 combination.. I can HONESTLY AND CONFIDENTLY SAY that the 6.2 with 3.73 IS NOT "WORTHLESS" in the mountains.. Granted VTs mountains may not have the elevation of the "western" mountains but they do have some very steep and long grades..
I have not had the chance to try my 6.2 in Vermont mountains but my overall experience between how the 5.4 and the 6.2 act on other lesser mountains tells me it will be fine..
PA, W VA, VA, and NC also have some pretty good long steep grades.. So far my 6.2 with 3.73 handles that with ease compared to my old 5.4s with same gears..
