4rdfan,
I believe the only ratio available is 3.55. I kinda wish they had a 3.73 option if they did that would of been what I would of ordered. My guess is they are only offering the one ratio in an attempt to get the most out of the mileage.....

Thanks yetiman, I was wondering if the U.S.A. ordered trucks had the 3:73 available, the Canadian SuperCrews do not.
I have been watching all the dealers in my area to get a look at the first one to land, but not yet. My dealer has two on order and is telling me arrival time is early March.
I currently own a 99 4x4 sc with the 5.4/auto & 3:73 gears & ORP, it is an excellent combination for towing a race car, or just spirited driving. Gas mileage isn't too bad either, 17mpg (hyy, cc set @ 70mph) 15mpg towing a car trailer with a 3800lb car onboard, never checked city mileage.
Oh well, at least we could order the 3:73 gears threw the parts department, too bad that Ford dropped them as an option though.
Thanks again,,,, 4rdfan

4rdfan,
All of the Ford literature I have on the SCrew is that 3.55 is standard and 3.55LS is the only option for all 50 states and high altitude. No other packages shown available with 3.73 - shame.
