Rear End Help

[speckfisher]

Thinking about buying another truck. I have been looking and I see 3.73 and 4.10 rear ends. I am looking for fuel economy to drive to work but occasionaly I pull a 3200# boat. I don't know anything about rearends. I have a 3.73 now would a 4.10 make it better or worse?

Thanks

4.10-better for towing, not that great for fuel economy....3.73 seems to be best for all round, towing and fuel economy....if that is all your towing, you might get away with a 3.55 or so, that would be great for fuel mpg`s....hope this helps

Yeah on 3200 lbs you wont even feel it with the 3.73's. Heck i'm runnin 3.73's with 37 inch tires and i can spin em. Have also pulled 10k lbs with the 37's and 3.73's and was able to run 90mph.
