    3.55 is pretty much right in the middle for decent towing, yet keeping the RPM's down on the highway. 3.31 would be good for straight highway driving, but not as great for towing. 3.73 would be moderate towing but bring your RPM's up on the highway a bit more... Then 4.30 is pretty much good for real heavy loads. You can still do highway speeds, but your RPM's will be significantly higher, which will lead to a loss of fuel economy.

    I'd go with 3.55 or 3.73
