Low geared rear axles are great, until you are rev’ed out and can’t pull the next gear.
WTF.... Back away from the booze and the keyboard.
Ever been tach’d out in 2nd pulling a steep hill but can’t hit 3rd? The lower geared truck will be moving slower than its higher geared counterpart. That was my point.
My 8.1L 4.10 revs hard at 60 when loaded down on a couple of I-5 hills in southern Oregon. It would rev a bit higher if I wanted to go a little faster but wouldn’t stay in the next gear. It has enough power to go 65-70 but the wrong gearing. For the record, I chose the 4.10 and would again. Just saying that nothing is perfect for all situations.
However with more transmission gear choices, towing gets easier. ;)
