Could use some advice on how important the tow package really is for my intended uses.
I'm considering picking up a good deal on a 2018 XLT - much fewer to choose from if you have to have the HD Tow Package for 9k. I usually go for max spec, but with the other packages I want, this ends up adding a lot more than just the $1500 HD Tow package to the price.
I'm planning to tow 2-3 times per year about on a 1000 mile trips in the summer - about 2-3k pounds boat and trailer plus five people and gear in the truck. Frequent shorter towing of the boat on most summer weekends, 200 mile round trips.
Is the extra cooling and steeper 3.73 ratio worth it for me? Any drive-ability concerns or experiences with the 3.31 ratio to be concerned about?
