We are getting ready to order a new crew cab long box F350 with the 6.2L gas engine and need some advice on gearing and options.
We plan on getting a lightweight truck camper and might also tow a small boat behind on occasion. This truck will also be my daily driver. It will probably
As I started to write this, I pretty much convinced myself to order the truck with 4.30 gears over the 3.73 and go with 285/75R18 (almost 35") tires over the stock size 275/70R18 (33") tires. The 33" tires just look tiny on these trucks.
Gas mileage isn't my biggest concern, but any idea how much I might be giving up with this combo?
This is what we are thinking of ordering;
F350 XL CCLB 4X4 with:
Power equipment pkg - power windows, door locks, etc.
STX pkg - 18"alum wheels, chrome grill & bumpers, cruise
Camper pkg - stiffer front springs, rear sway bar
Trailer tow pkg
Upfitter switches
Tailgate step
Sync 3 with ultimate trailer tow camera (360 degree camera) and satellite radio
Locking rear diff
Vinyl seats, no carpet
Anything you think we are missing?
Anything you think we can really do without?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Richard
