Like I mentioned, great motors but they need rpm for the towing you're talking about. To get to our weight levels you would probably need a 4.1 gear. At that rpm your economy wouldn't be much different than the present combination. You might be up with Manny's kit for money expended.

And nobody ever seems to pay attention to the fact that the belt driven stuff hanging on the engine turn 34% faster with a 4.11 final drive from the OEM 3.07.

If you don't change pulley diameters to compensate, you will need alternator, AC compressor, power steering and water pumps, not to mention belts, 34% more often.
