Is It That Bad?
I had a 2013 2D automatic 3.73 gears with 315/70/17 tires, and loved the way it drove. I made a I mistake and sold it thinking I needed a truck. I just bought a new 2015 2D automatic with 3.21 gears. I was thinking about putting 315/75/16 tires & wheels on it. I will not be re-gearing in the future. Can I live with this or will it be horrible? I do not do any hard four-wheeling.

Are you looking for valid opinions or are you just looking for someone to tell you running that big a tire on 3.21 gears is good to justify you buying them? There are already multiple threads done to death on the tire size/gearing issues and common sense would tell you it is going to suck on the highway and if you drive in hills it will suck that much more.

Dirtman had more info than your worthless post. to o.p. I would imagine it to be almost the same as your oLd setup with the new motor ect. May be wrong but with the power difference may slightly offset it.

2013 and 2015 has the same motor. To the op, you will hate the ride.
