Kicking around buying a 1 ton gasser. Probably around a 2011 to 2014. Considering I have always driven diesels, my question would be IF I went to a gasser, probably Chevy or Ford, would the 4:10 gears or the 3:73 gears be the way to go. Most of the driving would be with a trailer, but anymore I don't pull that much, and am not sure if I can justify the extra cost of the diesel.
The truck I have now is a 2004 Duramax and I only have 87K on it for miles. Most of them were in the first couple of years.
What are the thoughts here with those of you that have them? The 3:73 would help the gas mileage when not pulling a trailer for sure, but I am assuming it would kill the power when you are pulling a load. Thus the 4:10 would be better with the load, but worse on the fuel mileage. Just trying to plan ahead. Thanks a lot - Bob
