Rear Axle Gear

In the 15 years I have followed the halt ton market, any given person seems to get the same unloaded fuel economy between the shortest and tallest gear ratios. Their driving style affects it compared to others. The 6+ gear transmissions have taken the axle ratio out of the acceleration/performance equation, but but I still say 3.73. No reason not to. I also recommend the max trailer towing package for the extra payload which means forces the 3.73 gear anyway.
