A lowered geared truck will ALWAYS tow better than an identical taller geared truck while consuming more fuel. The reverse is also true.
One may be ok with the lower performance of a taller geared truck, and that can be ok. Just stop pretending that there is no difference.
Don’t care about the law of physics. I towed a 14,000 pound 5th wheel with both ratios and like I said couldn’t tell the difference. If ordering a new truck tomorrow I would definitely get the 3:31 ratio.
