This has to be some of the dumbest schitt I've seen on the interwebs.
Picking a speed where a certain tire size, load, gearing and power theoretically work better than the better option?
I made a post about people who would say that toothpaste is bad to use with toothbrushes a couple days ago.....
I could say the same here.
Back to reality, OP, 3.31s...dog will hunt. Don't worry.
But deeper gears trump taller gears, all else equal....fact.
You are not understanding the concept of choosing a gear ratio. If deeper ratio gears trump the taller ratio gears the manufacturer would only offer the deeper ratio. There is a range of operating conditions where a specific gear ratio shines. If you don't understand the concept it's very simple ..... Choose the gear ratio the engineers recommend for the weight of trailer you plan on towing. The recommendations are based on math.
You say 3.31 dog will hunt .... If hunting is not allowed then choosing a 4.10 ratio and a dually for an 11000 lb trailer would be the thing to do..... You could pull any hill on the interstate in 6th gear. What are you going to do when the 10 speeds come out to prevent hunting?
