Word on the street is Fords new 10spd is allowing truck buyers to tow happily with 3.55 gears instead of 4.30.....tight gear spacing.

I fell victim to the 10spd and 7.3, ouch.

Ouch?
I say yay!
If one is dropping tht kind of $ on a new truck, using it to tow, has the luxury of a 10 speed with deep OD gears, why would you not choose the best performing, most capable package for basically free?

I would hazard a bet that the fuel economy penalty is miniscule at most and non existent in some conditions (like when towing).
