Hey Aaron!

Andy, remember Aaron has a 4 cyl. I bet the mileage will be better
especially if he does 70% or better city driving. The 3.55 gears are ok for
the bigger engines, but it makes the smaller engine work a bit more to
accelerate.

Aaron, you also gain 400lbs of GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) be
changing the gears in case you pull anything. I do not have any idea on the
costs and time involved.

Advantage - better acceleration
Disadvantage - worse gas mileage
