Re: rear gear suggestions
My favorite towing set up I’ve had was a t400 w/ gear vendors and 3:73 gears. But I never tow anything seriously heavy. Maybe max I tow is 3500 lbs. but this set up gives multiple gearing choices on the fly and when you’re not towing, great gas mileage!

Re: rear gear suggestions
For the son's C30, 3.73 or 4.10, depending on tire size and trailer weight.
For the K10, 3.42s. My C10 has 3.42s and 30" tires and it makes for a general purpose rig. |
