Changing from 3.73 to 4.10 gears
Hello all, After towing our new Reflection 320MKS from Eastern Iowa to Estes Park Colorado and back, I need more power for the hills. I have a 2015 F-250 with the 6.2 Liter engine. I have 3.73 years...

Ever wonder why torque is advertised so much in the HD light truck market?
Because it has a dramatic effect on how well it tows.
Ever hear of torque multiplication?
Unlike HP, it can be increased with gears. The lower the gears, the more TQ.
A 4.30 gear set will increase the TQ by about 20% over 3.73 gears. That is a VERY noticeable increase.
All one has to do, is drive a truck equipped with 4.30s and then get back in a 3.73 truck which will then feel like a slug.
As for the mileage penalty.... We are talking about towing performance right?
