Totally agree, 350/3500, diesel,air blower, engine brake is the ultimate TV if you need that much muscle and have unlimited funds...but not everyone wants to tow a 45ft, tri-axle 18,000lbs toy hauler.
As you pointed out horse was out of the barn and water is just fine

QUESTION:
We have two rear end ratio options
I) 3.73 ratio; 5th wheel towing capacity of 12,500 lbs
II)4.30 ratio; 5th wheel towing capacity of 15,300 lbs
Would anyone have any practical experience which would help comparing the performance of these two ratio options?
Yep. That's what I would order for my little TH or similar.
