birol,
 
   I have a 3.73 rear end ratio but the ideal one to have is 4.10. The 4.8 V8 is just fine. I am sure it will be lot better than the mini-Van. I have a in-line six 4.2 and it is like pulling nothing towing my Utah. Most people do not remember that in the 40 s and 50,s six s did all the pull/work power. There is/was a reason for that.

Okay for those of you that are still interested, I am going to get the truck in the morning.
 
 The long delay has been with getting the dealer to take care of a couple of problems and getting me the name and phone number of the previous owner.
 
 I called previous owner tonight and the guy was upfront with me.  Told me what had been done to the truck and what I should do.  Main thing was a transmission fluid change and filter.  That is normal maintenance anyway and since he was only pulling a popup (older one)  I don t think there was much strain on the vehicle.
 
 He gave the truck a good rating.  
 
 I asked him why he was trading since the truck only has 28000 miles on it and he had owned it for 19 months.  Reason he gave was that he trades his trucks every 25000 miles to avoid repairs.  Well, at least I will get the remainder of the 36000 mile warrantee.
 
 Larry, thanks for the tow information.  I also looked it up at 7300.  I guess I could pull a hybrid with it. []
 
 I told dw I was going to get her the following vanity plate since it is her truck.
