I think Grit Dog figured it out.... you have a different idea of what "better" means than I do. Do you honestly think that a new Powerstroke towing a 6000 lb RV through 4.30 gears will tow better than if that same truck had 3.31 gears? If so I would really like to know how you define "better"? Why do you suppose Ram and Ford offer these different gears if they could simply put 5.80 gears in all their trucks and have the "best" ratio for towing anything?
No, I think you could tow that figurative trailer that your using for an example with one of Robertryans Austrailain wonder trucks.
You've contradicted yourself enough in this thread to last a lifetime. We get it.. You can tow a little with a lot of power and a shorter final drive ratio. That's not news.
BUT you can tow MORE with the same power and deeper gears. Not news either.
