Hi from Western NC

Hello everybody. My wife and I are about to buy our first Superduty after multiple diesel chevys (2004, 2008,2012DRW). We had a lot of issues with our 2012 3500HD Duramax and with our 2018 1500 High Country and have had enough. I am trying to figure out whether to get 3.55 or 4.10 limited slip rear end. We pull roughly 18,000 tall 5er. I don't pull that kind of weight more than about 70-75 tops and we live in the mountains. Anyway it is nice to meet you guys and I am waiting for a dealer to call back after accepting the offer we made. lol Im sure they will knowing the 20's will be out soon.

Thank you and nice to meet all you guys and learn about FORD. I have had 3 ford F-150's and an F-250 in the 80's and early 90's and got my first Chevy 2500HD Duramax in 2004. No more Chevys for us.

William

Get the 4.10:1 if you can, but a 3.73:1 would work okay. It looks like you're already asking in "2017+ Super Duty", that will get you a lot more answers on this.

Welcome aboard!
