I am happy with my 6.2/3.73, for my FW towing. I often tow in 5th, but the 3.73 works great.
I only wish that reverse was geared lower, at least the same as 1st. I have to back slowly up my driveway (a fair incline), when returning home.

if you are 4x4, you could use 4wd low.
Yes, that would work in many cases, but my worst case is my driveway. My FW is parked on a 8' wide concrete slab, next to my actual 2 car drive. I have 32' of space, before hitting garage eve, and the pin being off the sidewalk. The FW is 31'.
Bottom line, I'm pretty crossed up during back-in, not a good time to have 4x4 engaged.
It works pretty well, but would be better if reverse was the same, or slightly lower than 1st.
