$22-$24k seems reasonable for an 11' with that mileage.

Overkill for most all unless you're going to track it. Or buy them aftermarket if you feel the need to be a joiner rather than eat so much depreciation on trading so soon. IMO

The 3:73's will be a bit faster off the line and cause you to shift sooner compared to the 3:55's.....and the 3:73's will run a higher rpm cruising at the same speed and a bit lower top end.
3:55's are great all around gears, fun on the street with reasonable MPG and not to bad at the track......3:73's are more for performance orientated drivers and will net lower MPG at the same speed/gear..

IMO for the '11 5.0/6spd manny tranny, the 3.55 are just about right and equivalent to the 3.73's in the 05-10 5spd.
I have the 08 4.6/5spd and the 3.73's are perfect for that engine/trans. I'm strong off the line and can complete the qtr mile in 3rd - don't have to shift into 4th (which costs seconds).
Of course your engine is bigger and faster in the qtr mile. What happens with the '11 6spd manual with 3.73's or higher, is you wind up so fast to redline in 1st and 2nd. 1st is almost like granny gear in my F150 lol. And to complete the qtr you have to shift into 4th.
You may still have to shift into 4th with the 3.55's but either way you're faster than the little 4.6. As for traffic, the 3.55's keep you from having to shift quite so fast compared to the 3.73's
