373, you could even probably drop down one more gear if it was an option. It is an option in the 1/2 ton. The lower the gear the better the fuel economy period. I know a guy that tows a heavy fiver and he has 2 sets of gears. He runs the high gear 6mo. About April or so he brings the truck in and and has the tow gears installed. Must pay off or he would not do it. I guess it depends on where you live and what you do, but here in the midwest 373 would be a good allaround choice. These new gas motors put out so much power, coupled with a 6 speed, they can handle most any situation.
