Default F150 gearing options

I got a 93 f150 with a inline 6 5 speed and I am going to need to pull a trailer for my trail rig I have 3:08 gears right now (20mph @2,000rpm in first) what would be a good gear to pull a trailer and still get decent mileage (I'm getting 18 now) I'd be ok with like 16 if I could pull a trailer without having to worry about riding the clutch to even move the trailer

At a minimum I would say 3:55 - depends on how much the trailer weighs.

If you live in Ontario I could help you out but if you're not from around here then you'd want to shop around for a good used set. 3:55 is the most common ratio for 4x4's that I've seen - but lots of guys swap them out to put 4:10's in when they put the 35 " tires on, so there may well be some around.
