4.10 would be lower gear ratio than 3.73. 4.10 would be better for heavy hauling, faster acceleration etc. And for OR, 3.73's for highway and around town.

Which has the better gas mileage all things being equal? Checking out used trucks and looking for the best mileage out of a 3/4 ton. Not planning on pulling any big loads just trapping gear and critters.
Then why a 3/4 instead of half?

Diesel 3.73 Gas 4.10 or 4.30. I put 4.56 in my truck to haul the camper knowing hwy unloaded mpg would suffer. Towing mpg stayed the same but… I'm towing 65-70 now instead of 50-55. Also a lot more fun to drive! Any 3/4 or 1t truck will cost you one way or another it all works out the same. Really comes down to what headache you prefer.

Had 4 10 rear end in a ranger once. Great off road-pig on gas on the highway.
New one got 4 55
