IMO it did a lot for the Ford. More OD means trucks can have lower gearing for pulling and higher gearing overall for empty running. Fords OD is arguabley a tripple OD and gets the RPM crazy low when empty. I have 6 gears and it would be awesome to have a couple more gears for empty freeway travel. It has the torque but not the gears. I can easily see how beneficial it would be to have even one more gear.
x2.
Like my 1750 RPMs in 6th at 80 MPH! Yet because of the Aisin's low first and second gear it handles 24,500 combined just fine. And can get 20 MPG on the freeway bobtail.
Yes, but I really like my exhaust brake that works down to 800 RPM in any gear.... ;)
