For those of you with the 6.7 Ford diesel in your F350, did you go with 3.73 or 4.30 rear axle? Do you still like that choice? I am looking at larger/heavier truck campers (4000 lb or more dry) and a approx 3000 lb boat with about 1000 lb of propane, equipment, water etc.. What is your experience?

You didn't state whether you are looking at gas or diesel or whether you are looking at SRW or DRW.
For 2018 models, the gas ratios are either 3:73 or 4:30, same choice for either SRW or DRW.
Diesels, SRW choice 3:31 or 3:55,depends whether you get 18" or 20"wheels.
DRW's have a choice of 3:55,4:10 or 4:30. My 2011 DRW has 3:73, the only choice available in that year.
I am at 18,000lbs+ with my camper and boat and am extremely happy.
