7800# with a 3:55 even with the six speed will be taxing on the truck. I did post 9800# it has a 9700# if a 4X2 9500# if a 4X4. Towing that weight with a 3:55 gear up any grade will not be fun. The optional gears were 3:73 and 4:10. Me if I was going to tow with the truck I would go with 4:10 if ordering, 3:96 if replacing.
