By the way, don't get hung up on rear axle ratios. Low gear is low enough to get going and from then on just pick a gear that works for you. There is no difference in cruising down the highway at 60 mph and 3,000 rpm's in 4th gear, or 60 mph and 3,000 rpm's in 5th gear with the lower axle ratio. Any kind of load and you will not be towing in 6th, no matter the rear axle ratio.
