What changes on the truck so one can tow 7400 and the other 9100? Is there a differential ratio change? Is there a different trans?

I wanna say that the 9100lb gears are 3.36 gears.

7400 is a 2.94
You fit both those full size quads in that 21ft Weekend Warrior Mav?
I'm looking for a similar setup here in AZ to get the family away from town in the summer. One of the reasons we purchased the Titan so we could start shopping for a Toy hauler. I currently tow my Raptor 700 and the kids Suzuki 50 on a 10ft trailer.

Sure do. The 450 goes in first, then the 400 is at the back turned sideways. Plenty plenty of room. Pack in the generators, tables, coolers, blankets, whatever. Although the 22ft is about the limit we can expect to tow safely. I actually bought mine in Cottonwood, AZ. lol

^^^^ What they said... ^^^^ When you tow over 6,000-lbs you keep it in 4th gear... Some years of the column shifters are tougher to do that on...

Final Drive Differentials to be exact... There's other differences depending on year model like Trans Temp Guage and i cannot remember what else, but the final drive gearing is the only mechanical difference...

Correct as always, Pops. The 2010s really threw me for a loop since I was still used to the old packages. They no longer identify the Big Tow as a package. Living in the South now, I also couldn't get the 4x4 in the configuration I wanted without special ordering it. I was actually signing the papers for the truck when I put down the pen and asked what the towing capacity was of the truck. I initially thought that since it had the trans temp gauge and factory Class IV towing setup, it would have the "Big Tow" package. About 15 min later, we figured out that all 4x4s have the lower gearing (higher towing capacity), but the 2WD versions need the "Max Utility Package" to get the higher towing capacity.
This package adds side steps, tow hooks, lower final gear ratio, and the dual power towing mirrors.
I didn't realize that when I purchased my 2009 2wd. Salesman said that all i needed was to buy the hitch and the fuses and I'd be good to go. I often wondered why the titan didn't like towing my 6000lb boat like I thought it would. It never went into OD on the highway, loved gas. It got the load started fine and braking wasn't a problem though. I later found out (thanks to this forum) that I didn't have the same gearing.
this really is a great forum, i hope I can find a silverado forum half as good as titantalk.

Is that right?? I don't remember seeing 6500 for anything... I wonder why would an XE be lower than a SE or LE non-BT when it has the exact same drivetrain??
