haha lets just say it needs gears! Lol. Other than that, great. I stay around 60-65mph, its very stable and it pulls and stops with no issue. Gas mileage SUCKS though!

I can't remember right now, I bought it with the trailer. I thought 4.10's, but the more I read on here, Im starting to think I might go 4.56.

I would be more concerned about exceeding the axle weight more than anything with that big a trailer! Woof, thats a lot to pull.
