Check the axale code on your door

I think the 3.73 was really rare on this generation. Its likely a 3.55, which will pull 32" tires fine (imo). I have 31.5" tires and the 3.55s are plenty even with a well loaded trailer.

You'd be spending a bit of money to re-gear for what is essentially a stock size tire on a lot of the models (265/70/17 - 31.5")
