Agreed 4.10’s with a SBC and stockish tires is ideal for towing. Also expect to cruise 55-60 tops.

Re: rear gear suggestions

My favorite towing set up I’ve had was a t400 w/ gear vendors and 3:73 gears. But I never tow anything seriously heavy. Maybe max I tow is 3500 lbs. but this set up gives multiple gearing choices on the fly and when you’re not towing, great gas mileage!
