Who here with the 2.7 opted in for the Payload Package? I am looking to get a 5x12 enclosed trailer and a boat in the future and was wondering if this $400 is beneficial. I know the MPG will take a hit with the 3.73 but from what I've read it's not that much to notice a difference.
The option includes
• 3.73 Electronic-locking rear-axle
• 9.75” gear set
• Mechanical Parking Brake
The 2.7L Payload Package is cool in that it gives you both the 3.73 gears paired with the 9.75" gear set. It's $698 per x-plan.
However, you are limited to lower trim levels with this package (ie. 300a required instead of 301a). If you want the same performance, you can get just the 3.73 gears for $530 per x-plan, pick the trim level you want, and the super-8 rear end is still pretty stout.
I think the 3.73 gears paired with the 2.7L EB would be really fun to drive around town...
I towed a 6x12 enclosed with my 2.7 and 6 speed and it did fine. The 10 speed has lower gears on the bottom so it should be better even with 3.55 gearing, I wouldn't worry to much.
