Since 95% of the time my truck is not towing and my trailer and load total aprox 7000 lbs max The Ecoboost tourque moves. it efertlessly and the 95% time not towing is well worth the trade off in reduced RPM and increased fuel milage. So in my case this does equate to less drive train wear due to lower engine speed and fewer total revalutions per mile

I have the 3.31 rear end on my 2012 XLT, i don't tow and 8 average 21.5 to 23 mpg's but I also am very easy on the gas! As it is a truck not a Z06!!!

Hard question to answer. Lots of variables. For these trucks I'd say a 3.73-4.10. I think much lower than that and you'd be in 6th gear to quick and that's really not an acceleration gear. I haven't put mine on a strip yet but I'd imagine you want it setup so you are in 4th gear as you cross the traps.
