We are looking at deisel. Wanted a bench seat in the front. But the only one available has 410 gear ratio. Will likely go w a 5 seater w lower gear ratio instead
You mean higher gear ratio. It's an inverse relationship. Lower numbers means less gear multiplication, hence higher gear ratio. Anyway, yes 4.10s with the auto trans with double OD are still manageable when running empty down the highway, but unless towing heavy, are a bit of a detriment to mileage at higher speeds.
Agree front bench is handy when u need 6 seats with seat belts.
