3.08 vs. 3.42 Gear Ratio

I have a buddy who is looking at getting a new vehicle with a 3.08. His current truck has a 3.42 and he pulls a four-wheeler during duck season and a 22 ft. aluminum bay boat (probably 3,000 lbs. with all gear) 10-15 times during the rest of the year. Will he notice a significant difference if he goes with the 3.08?

Full-size truck? I would be shocked if he noticed an appreciable difference or any difference at all really. Neither of those two things are near his maximum capacity.

Yes. Ask me how I know. I hate 3.08s they don't get better gas mileage as the dealer will advertise. I've had the 5.3 with 6spd for almost 7 years now. Don't care enough to regear, but will never buy a truck with that gear set again.
