I'd agree with the others the 3.73 would be fine unless you absolutely wanted the other options that come with the 4.30. I drive my F450 back and forth to work, 38 miles each way, and I drive about 65-70 mph otherwise my gas mileage goes way down with the 4.30. Truck maneuvers great but the 3.73 would be nicer for daily driving for sure in my opinion. Really depends on what you're going to use for most of the time. Saying that, I really like my F450 and I will say it's slowed my driving speeds down for sure. The 3.73 with the wide stance front axle would be perfect!
