Specs below, its a 1999 at what rpms do the 231HP and 293lb/ft come in? The motor seems to be at its best at about 3 grand, and accelerates the best in 2cd and 3rd gear. Overdrive its very weak. Also how much is this truck rated to tow?

 

According to my 1999 owner's manual:

220 HP @4500 RPM
290 lb. ft torque @ 3250 RPM

Tow rating is influenced by many factors. If you tell me your rear axle ratio, wheel size, what transmission you have (manual or auto) I will let you know.

Starting 2002 model year the 4.6's power and torque improved to 231 HP @ 4750 RPM and 293 lb. ft. @ 3500 RPM

 

3.55 gears, I hate them, too sluggish for me, needs at minimum 3.73s to "jazz up the 4.6's mellow vibes", sorry just read that in a dirt bike magazine had to say it.

 

What transmission (manual or auto) and wheel/tire size?

 

Auto, 17in, 265 tires

 

6300 lb tow rating for the 4X4 reg cab 17" wheels auto trans and 3.55 gears.

 

Thanks
