Don't tell my wife, she worries enough as it is!

The 3.73 would be great for an around-town truck, do you do a lot of highway driving?

I don't know how Ford's 4th gear is, but my 3.73-equipped truck runs a pleasant and efficient ~2050rpm at 70mph. It locks the TC in 4th at 55mph.
Taller gears would work at 70 but for lower speeds my truck would lose FE. |
To and from some of my fishing destinations YES there is often a fair bit of hwy driving. But then there is also a chunk of off roading at some point. Not always but often enough.

I can also keep an open mind if a differnt vehicle is a better suggestion.
BUT it needs to be able to tow a boat and trailer when needed, needs 4x4 and decent clearance for some of the locations. Needs to be able to haul 3-4 adults around and needs lots of space for rods, food and wet gear... Oh and I can't go laying down major bling at the moment as we just bought a house last year and my wife is going on maternity leave in 3 weeks as our first is due mid Feb. |

Vancouver... Island in the Pacific? That's not an island....THIS is an island : Australia ( to borrow a well used and often abused line from Crocodile Dundee ). Welcome to the place and I hope you enjoy your stay. Cheers , Pete. |
