i assume higher is better?
Howdy. Given two identical tow vehicles but with different gear ratios where one has a higher one than the other how does that factor into the towing capabilities issue?

Yes, back in the dark ages with only three speeds axle ratio was very important and when backing up it still is. If you have a 4X4 with a low range there is no reason to go with a high gear ratio. It's not going to hurt it to use the 4X4 on hard surface at slow speeds.
True if you don't turn, turning on dry surfaces in 4x4 with a heavy load puts a horrible strain on the drive train.
That's when manual hubs are handy.
