And now we have the tall gears will out pull the low gears guys checking in.
Regardless of gas/diesel, number of trans gears, apples to apples, lower gears put more power to the ground.
I spose one could cherry pick one particular situation where the trans gears and torque curve of a particular vehicle might favor taller gears, but that will be a very select case.
Or all the mechanical engineers and theory are wrong......
Wonder why trucks with deeper gears generally are rated to tow more??
