I'm going to getting a new truck in March.I found one TRX4 out of many Big Horn Regional Packages. the TRX has what I want in a truck but I would like some thoughts. The TRX has 4.10 Axle Ratio with a 5.7L HEMI VVT. Do you think the 4.10 is a little too much? is it going to eat up a lot of gas? The only time I'm driving my truck is when the snow flies or when I need to tow a car or boat. Any thoughts. Thanks

 

from what i have read/learned 4.10 is a good towing gear and if that is what you are going to use the truck from that is the way to go.

i didnt know anything about trucks or towing and bought mine with a 3.55 and after reading enough i now think I made a crucial error though if I never read anything I would have never known or cared becasue even with the 3.55 my trucks pulls a 5k travel trailer without an issue.

i guess I really just dont know

 

Well for what you are using your truck I would say that is the one you would be happy with and wont be one of those guys whining about the towing capabilities for once.

 

if u really want some good pulling power get the cummins. i hate myself for not getting a 2500 cummins. may trade 1 day to get the diesel back

 

Thanks for the insights. diesel is out of my price range & I drove a diesel truck at work & had a headache from it until they got me another truck that was not a diesel. If it was not for that I would look for a used one in my price range.

 

If they were to provide the diesel in the half ton I would have gotten it. These days they don't really even sound that bad. My friend has had 3 powerstroke diesels replaced on his 3/4 ton Harley Ford 08 model. One year 3 motors..........
