Gear ratio advice 3:73 or 4:30 on Super Duty
I am in the beginning stages of looking for a new TV and was looking at the Fords to start off with. (Dont worry Dodge fans I will look at them next) I see that Ford has either the 3:73 or 4:30 gears ...

Old conventional thinking is that you need a 4.10 or lower ratio if you want to pull something, but that is from the days when 1:1 was the highest ratio you could get in a transmission.
Some people just haven't gotten out of the '70's.
These 6+ speed transmissions with the stump-pulling low 1st gear ratio, and no real "direct" gear (i.e. 4th is 1.15:1 and 5th is .87:1) have completely changed the game for towing and hauling.
