Trying to decide which rear end to get in a new Ford F 150 3.5 Eco boost 3.31 or 3.55 maybe pulling a boat 150 miles a week during the summer months. Boat and trailer around 4500lbs. Any thoughts or experience with this?

With the 10sp transmission you won't tell much of a difference.

Get the 3.55. With the 10 speed there are plenty of gears that the fuel mileage difference will be negligible. I see no reason to go with the higher geared trucks now that the transmissions have more gears.

Thank you for your replies, ended up with the 3.55 rear end.
