If I do go back to gas I'm definately gonna have to order one with 4.30 gearing. Drove one today, and at 60 mph with 3.73s it almost seemed like it was lugging the engine, drop down to 5th and the milage was about the same, better going up hills according to the display!
So I can put a nice truck camper in the bed and pull my 10 000 car hauler.
Then I don't have to sleep in a tent!
