Towing in the flatland a 3.55 is fine. Towing in the mountains and you'll appreciate a 3.70. Either is more appropriate, if you are towing, than the stock 3.07. I don't have a beef with the stock 3.07, it served me well, but it didn't do well pulling our Chevy HHR even in the flat south. It was a huge difference when we went to a 3.55 but if I had to do it all over again I'd have gone to the 3.70.
The drive doesn't seem to have any negative impact on the coach going from a 3.07 to a 3.55 when not towing, it had a positive impact when towing. The extra power from the 3.70, for the small extra cost, also seems to have no downside from everyone I've ever heard from. Probably more than worth it.
