Hi All,
I would like to get some feed back from those that have the 5.0 paired with the 3.31 rear axle, RCSB 4x4. This truck would be my daily driver and my future plans are to purchase a small fishing boat with a package weigt of about 2000 pounds. Truck comes with 265/70-17 tires and I would probably get a little bit larger tires in the future.

I have the crew cab and mine runs fine, seems to have plenty of power, faster than my old 2002 mustang gt.

on the smaller and lighter trucks im sure it will be fine. I test drove the SCrew with the 6.5' bed and the difference between the 3.31 and the 3.73 was pronounced.

A RCSB 5.0 will certainly have plenty of umph to tow a light trailer combo like that. If you have the option to upgrade (in other words, if you have the choice to choose) I'd recommend stepping up to the 3.55 e-locker. The new 10-spd tranny has plenty of OD gears--basically 10-9 and even 8 to an extent--to handle highway cruising and give decent mileage, and the lower ratio will give you a better tow rating if decide to upgrade your boat to something larger/heavier. The e-locker will be invaluable for hauling out on slick ramps!

If I were ordering a truck I would more than likely spec out the 3.55 but this is a truck in local inventory.

I have a 2018 SCREW (5.0, 3.31, 4x4, 10R80, 275/55-20 tires) and I've had no problems towing my 2,500 lb pop-up camper. I think most people here would recommend at least the 3.55. As far as everyday (non-highway) driving, I usually have it in Sport mode...

Yuck. The 5.0 needs to rev to make power. 3.31s just make that harder. I would only opt for 3.73s on a 5.0.

Oh, it'll get the job done. But it isn't optimal. I didn't like the 3.31s on my 3.5EB in my 16, and it makes a lot more power down low.
