My truck spins the tires with 35's easily, with the 3.73's
Beautiful truck!

Thanks

Mine never would, I tried a few times. It would just squat an go, no spin.
Now it spins without my trying. I have to be careful when leaving a light next to an officer.

Towing is fine. Even at idle the truck will start walking away.
For highway driving, towing too, the truck is most comfortable at 65mph and that keeps is right around 2kRPM. But mpg is horrible, about 9mpg when towing my 4000lb boat.
I will easily go over 65mph, heck I can pass people and get it up to 80mph.
But its a screaming witch at that speed and it's not a comfortable ride.

I should have had the 4.10 installed.
I have 4.10s with 35s and I can cruise at 80 at about 2100 rpms. Rides just fine and mpg is around 15

Wow, 5 years since I posted.

Walter is still going strong for a 15 year old. He sits in the garage most of the time, since covid, I work from home.
I just hit 105k miles on the odometer recently.
Sold the boat, so it's not doing much towing anymore.
Only the occasional helping family and friends with a random tow.
