If you end up going with 3.73 ratio and decide later to swap for 4.30 ratio, I would expect a shop to charge about $1,500 for parts and labor on a 4WD truck.

Well the deal is done, came home with our new 2019 F-250 Lariat Ultimate 6.2 with.....3.73 gears! This was the third one I drove with the 3.73’s & it felt great. The last one I drove with 3.73’s had the 20” wheels & it was terrible, maybe the truck had issues? Regardless the 20’s might be a little too much tire for the 3.73’s? The one we purchased has the 18” wheels & has plenty of power, on the hour drive home from the dealership in mixed driving I didn’t feel like the truck was underpowered at all, plenty of power getting on the highway, passing etc. Also impressively with only 18 miles on the odometer I averaged 12.9 mpg which is about what I averaged on the 6.7L. I’m leaving for 1000 mile business trip on Monday, when I get home the fifth wheel prep package should be waiting for me at the dealership so I can install it prior to our 1500 mile trip pulling the fiver in August.

Unfortunately for me my business trip for next week got canceled, I was hoping to spend a week in the truck breaking it in prior to installing the fifth wheel prep & camping in 3 weeks. Oh well, I’ve been driving it as much as possible & put 250 miles on it so far so the 1000 miles isn’t too far off.
What I will say is that I can’t believe how much better this chassis rides than the last one, it’s like night & day. My last truck was a 2015 F350 6.7L, the prior one was a 2003 F350 6.0L & I can’t get over how much better this truck is. This new one feels like a half ton to me, very sporty, doesn’t feel like a 3/4 ton & doesn’t rattle your teeth out. I’m super impressed & really happy that I made the switch.2019 Ford F-250 CCSB Lariat Ultimate 6.2L/3.73 gearing

Fish,
I know the deal is done but if it helps, my in-laws have a 2018 F-350 with 6.2L and 3.73s. He pulls a Reflection 337RLS. Sometimes they even pull the 17.5' boat behind the fifthwheel. I urged him to go 4.30s for the extra towing but fuel mileage scared him out of it. He seems happy with his choice. Gets around 8 mpg pulling. Empty the best was 18 mpg.
I run a Ram 3500 with 6.4L Hemi and 3.73s pulling a 28BH. My camper runs right around GVWR (11,000 lbs). I debated 3.73s and 4.10s. 95% of miles are not towing and I have no need for the extra 3,000 lbs of towing so I went 3.73s. Towing is 8-9 mpg. Best mpg was 20.5 mpg twice. Non towing of course.
Just a few data points to help validate your decision.2018 Reflection 28BH

If it was like me; the more I drive it the more I like it. I think it is my favorite truck so far. I too am towing just under 10k and it does just fine and is a stable platform. Son in law just traded his 2011 deleted 6.7 and went 6.2 because he doesn`t tow there camper but a few times a year. He said this one was his favorite too.
