Max tow gets them also but not many out there and he asked specifically about 6.2L trucks.

Yes now all 6.2 get the 9.76 with 3.23 with 8 spd
Max tow is 3.42 with 8 spd .......5.3 get the 9.5 ring and V6 has the old 10 bolt

Just ordered new 2017 All terrain and only way to get 3.42 with the 6.2 is with Max tow package which now is just a big mirror and heavier rear spring package brake controller etc ... 5.3 Max tow still has 3.73 rear with 8spd

What is really wild is the tow rating for the 6.2 with 3.23 rear and 5.3 with Max tow 3.73 is almost the same at about 9600lbs !!
