Aw, shucks. I learned it as Tall and Low. 3.27 is taller than 3.55, and 4.56 is Lower than 3.73.

With 4.10s, that thing will be singing at cruise speed. Oh, well, that's what gear splitters are for, right?

Trade offs in everything, I would go with 3.73s if I could find a used set and 4.10s if buying new.

No matter what the semantics are I, like others, agree a gear change will be the cats meow for towing power.

Not sure on that truck, but I have heard on the my F-250 going from 3.73 to 4.10 wouldn't change the MPG (or is it GPM) that much but would yield a great deal more oomph.
