8.8 or 9.75
I ordered a 24 Tremor
3.5 with the tow package. I tow a 26 ft T.T. I know it comes with the 3.73 gears ,my question is the rear-end a 8.8 or a 9.75.

3.5 always has the 9.75 rear. My question to you is why the concern? Both have a very solid rep for reliability, especially the 8.8HD.
The traditional 8.8 is not in the F150. It is a 8.8HD and in every way is bigger and stronger than the traditional 8.8. The only thing the two share is the same size ring gear.
The only issue I am aware of on 9.75 axles is the bolt shear issue on the max tow axles. There is a recall for it and I think that's been resolved by 2024 though.
