Rear end ratios
I've read where some truck campers specify the ratio of gearing in the differential of their trucks used for truck camping. Would anyone out there be so kind so as to explain to me what the advantages...

All me knows is me loves the 4.10 gears in our 2018 PSD Superdutuy when hauling our camper and towing our jeep.
IMHO: not the best gears for fuel economy.

I didn't buy the thing to cruise the mall or ride up and down the road doing 85 while towing nothing; I bought it to tow a load. I'm over 18k lbs 90% of the time and drive 65ish. I would be sick if I had gone with the 3.55 gears. I could have lived with 3.73 gears, but DA Ford no longer offers that ratio.
With what I haul/tow and how I drive, 3.55 gears would not have helped my mileage any.
