Tow Question
I have been reading another thread about towing gears and think I may have made a mistake. Are the 3.31 gears definitely no tow gears? I have a 1997 2wd expy 4.6 with the 3.31 gears and have a small pop-up and a 18 ft fiberglass boat. I bought the truck to tow with and now am thinking I should have done a little more research on rear end gearing first. Don't plan on towing anything big, should I re-think my tow vehicle? I still have time to get another tow vehicle if needed before spring hits. Thanks for your input in advance.

you could tow a pop up or small boat just fine with that set up. A higher gear will get you off the line quicker. I would be sure your new tow vehicle has a trans cooler and clean fluid though.
Why do you think it wouldnt tow?

I had a 1999 expy 2wd 4.6 and pulled a very heavy pop up with it. Not sure which gears it had but it pulled it great, pop ups have no wind resistance like travel trailers.
