davidz71,
I don't want a diesel if I will tow only 2,000 miles/year. If I towed more than 10,000 miles then I understand diesel is the best solution as the ultimate towing vehicle.
What about 3.55 rear that wouldn't work? According to 1990 Ford towing guide, 460/3.55/C-6 is rated for 9,800 lbs. I would be slightly exceeding it by 200-300 lbs. I understand the rear end is crucial in a small-block V8 but 460 will pull anything. But then again, I wouldn't be towing all that much or often.
3.73 was not offered in my F250HD, it was either 4.10 or 3.55. I don't know why. What RPMs could I get with 3.73 at 65?
