I guess you would have to ask yourself why do you want that heavy a chassis. Most of the time is is for payload/towing capacity, then the 4.10 helps a great deal.

On that truck, the difference in MPG between the 4.10 and 3.73 won't be that much.
I want the best of all worlds unfortunatley.....I want to haul, tow, and have a daily driver all in one truck. It will be a daily driver 80% of the time. I also want the 3/4 ton or 1 ton so I will not have to have that JOKE we call emmisions testing here in Metro Atlanta/Georgia. (not required over 8550 GVW)
