Your post made me look at the FX4s...damn those are nice, seems like a ton of options and would fill the bill for all the comforts. As far as towing...it looks like I would be hard pressed to find the 3.73 or max tow. I am going to guess your boat is heavier than mine with the big blocks and I don't know if Velocity includes the swim platform like Sunsation does on the measurement. So really no complaints towing with your rear?

It seems like a no brainer to go with the max tow, just can't find any of them so wondering how much worse the 3.55s would be.

Not sure if you are wanting to buy new. If you are why don't you just have one built to your exact specs? I am more of buy it now guy and don't like waiting to order one.

Yes, I may need to order one new. The only thing that's tricky is working out a deal on my trade that will have a ton more miles in two months.
Nobody pulling larger boats with 3.55s and have feedback?

Oh yes I've read that Eco Boost thread twice...helped sell me on the idea too.

The Max Tow has a MUCH larger tow rating.
2013 Supercrew, FX4, Max Tow, only option I didn't get was sunroof and man step. Here's the clincher on my rig. I ordered it with the 157" wheelbase. To me longer wheelbase has an advantage when towing, not to mention I get more bed space. Garage space isn't an issue for me due to a 30' garage. I hear complaints from those that say it's harder to maneuver and park in urban settings. I say if you can't park it due to an extra 12" maybe you should have purchased a Honda Civic and turned in your man card.
I'll post a pic in a while.
