Anyone have the new Ford 7.3 gas with 3.55 axle ratio? If so does it work out for a 2500# TC?
I don't have one, but I would say no, especially if you also plan on towing anything or driving in the mountains.
Flat ground, no towing, a TC which actually weighs 2,500 lbs and plenty of time to get where you are going, probably OK.
I once drove two new F350 SRW V10 gasser Fords. One had 3.55 gears and the other had 4.30 gears. The 3.55 was a dog; the 4.30 was a rocket. I got out pulled by a 4-cyl Camry on I-65 in downtown Birmingham in that 3.55 truck.
