Rear axle ratios and impact on towing
Suppose you have a choice between two axle ratios, say they are a 3.09 and a 3.45. And let's say the vehicle has an 8 speed transmission, so there's plenty of gear flexibility. Ok, so there's roughl...

What some people fail to understand is that the torque multiplication changes with a given ratio. So with that, each gear will be that much more efficient depending on the differences between the ratios. That is why the higher the number on the ratio, the higher the towing capacity. This will always be the same even with a 20 speed transmission!
