DRW questions

[vampress_me]

We started the new truck debate at home. Looking harder at a new one since the old one just threw a check engine light this weekend for an EGT sensor that needed replaced. We're wondering if that's the beginning of the DPF system starting to go bad with MN's new biodiesel mandate. Sigh... We had thrown out the idea to each other about getting a new truck, just not real serious until now. And it doesn't help when the dealer is giving a good trade-in on the old one and great price on a new 2016 to order.

So, to upgrade to a DRW is $1200 more, which I have to think about as far as if our usage of the truck is worth it and squeezing thru the garage door at home. But, the other option is getting the 3.73 rear end or going to a 4.30 (SRW is a 3.55 only). Which ratio do people like, both as a daily driver and for towing? We never plan on getting a toy hauler, no toys to haul, and like our camper layout so no plans on upgrading that for 5-6 years when kids are older/ out of the house. If you've gotten the 3.73, have you regretted not getting the 4.30? Ugh. I've always hated choosing this particular part of a vehicle! And, since Festus2 caught my omission, it will be another diesel, no gasser here.

Thanks everyone for your experience!
