Trust me.. Let your SO pick it out. That way she can't blame you when **** happens. And it will happen.

Wisdom comes with experience..That's a very non manly thing to suggest.
The 3.21 gears really limit you. Good advice so far. Just remember there are 2 numbers to keep in mind - how much can your truck carry? This is usually payload. How much can it pull? This is usually the max tow rating.
Salesman and manufacturers love to ignore one or both of these numbers and sell you something you shouldn't be carrying/towing. You'll need to have a rough idea of how much you plan to carry in the truck (people, gear in the bed, etc.) before you can make an accurate determination.
Hogwash.... Payload is nothing more than a marketing tactic.
Curbweight minus the GVWR to get the payload capacity. That's it. Your GVWR and your GCVWR are what matter. Your 3.21 gears will limit you TOW rating, but not your weight rating.
No... I said it backwards, my apologies. It limits your weight not.your tow....it was really late I get a MulliganYou serious Clark?
I would say you must speak from experience, except you threw in that last line. No matter who picks it out the man is still getting the blame when something happens...Trust me.. Let your SO pick it out. That way she can't blame you when **** happens. And it will happen.

Amen to that! "Why didn't you fix it before it broke?"I would say you must speak from experience, except you threw in that last line. No matter who picks it out the man is still getting the blame when something happens...
