Looking to purchase a TT with a gross weight of 7500 to 8000 pounds. Am I ok with the 3.21, assuming I will not be doing a lot of mountain driving?
Actually you'd do better with a Chevy (wink-wink). Seriously, I had a Chevy 1500 5.3 with a 3.2something rear and a smaller TT weighing in around 6500lbs. It struggled even on the gentle hills here in south Texas. My opinion is get the 3.92, think it will do a much better job towing.
Good Luck either way....
