I'd like to know whether a higher or lower gear ratio is better for towing. Considering a 2013 or 14 Silverado 2500 4wd. I plan to be in mountains as well as flats. Don't know what I'm going to tow...
Consumer Reports has bad mouthed HD trucks for years. They are a "green" org. So, when they review pickups, I take most of what they say with a LARGE grain of salt. The HD features that allow you to haul a bigger load, they rate as NEGATIVE! They prefer a small, low capacity truck, with car like features! To them, a nice seat, is MUCH better than the ability to tow a load!
They down rated a 3500, BECAUSE it rode a little rougher than a 1500! No s**t!
