Rear end ratios
I've read where some truck campers specify the ratio of gearing in the differential of their trucks used for truck camping. Would anyone out there be so kind so as to explain to me what the advantages...

Ford guru???????
EDIT:
I've been a Ford man all my life. My next car will be a Ford.
My Chevy PU has been THEE most trouble free vehicle I have ever owned.
I started leaning towards Chevy trucks after towing this snowcat with this 2007 3500 with the 8.1L Vortec.
The interior ergonomics just fit me better than the Fords did and it was more comfortable for me to drive.
The truck, trailer and snowcat weighed 27,000 pounds.
The 2nd half of last season and again this season I'm towing it with a 2009 F-450 with the 6.4L diesel.
That Chevy with the 8.1L gas will tow that snowcat up the canyon roads faster than the F-450 will.
The Chevy averages close to 5 mpg while towing that snowcat. That same as the f-450. And at 160,000 miles the F-450 has had the engine replaced twice, new complete FoMoCo engines.
I'm sure things are better these days, hopefully. We have a 2016 and a 2017 F-250 regular cab 4wd and I really don't care for either one of them.
I'm sure everyone loves their trucks. I know I love mine.
