With all the grunt of that engine and the low 1st of the tranny (plus it's an auto) 3.42 gears work out pretty well.
I would not get a diesel truck for towing without 3.73 gears. The lower gears translates into a better EPA number that helps the truck manufacturer meet the CAFE standards for their vehicles but does nothing for the truck owner unless they drive at 55 MPH on level ground with nothing in tow.
This is a smart time to buy a 2014 truck and save yourself $8,000 or more. Just look for a truck in the state with 3.73 gears and pay cash. If you cannot afford to pay cash you cannot afford to buy the truck.
Really???? I had to finance 28K on my truck. Why??? Because I need open cash flow for my business and the finance charge is chump change compared to being cash strapped at the wrong time. Right now at this time of year I could buy a Viper and a Laramie CASH but how would I pay my employees this spring?
are you the same guy who says if you can't change your own oil you shouldn't own the truck? Just asking. Sorry for the rant sane people. Had to shout out on this one. Dang!
