I'm shopping pickups and looking at 2017 or newer F150s with 3.5 Ecoboost and 10 speed transmission. Any real world experiences (or opinions) about 3.31 vs 3.55 rear axle? I tow some on the weekends (18.5' fiberglass boat, 16' enclosed trailer, 16' dump trailer) otherwise mostly highway and a little city driving.
Reading a bunch of Ford forums, some guys say definitely go 3.55 while other guys say 3.31 will do just fine.
I was leaning toward finding a truck with 3.55 and then I found a 3.31 that looks to be decent. I'm definitely not in a "must buy" situation, but I wouldn't want to let a good deal get away.
Thoughts?
