Changing from 3.73 to 4.10 gears
Hello all, After towing our new Reflection 320MKS from Eastern Iowa to Estes Park Colorado and back, I need more power for the hills. I have a 2015 F-250 with the 6.2 Liter engine. I have 3.73 years...

The people with their charts attempting to show that just dropping a gear in the tranny will do the same job are ASSUMING that they will be able to stay in that gear at that speed all the way to the top of the mountain.
In the world that I tow in, there is almost always something that prevents this.... Usually two semis side by side drag racing up the hill at 5-15 MPH. If you have lower rear end gears, you will be able to regain speed much better after slowing for whatever reason.
The world isn't always flat, and traffic doesn't always cooperate either.
As I keep saying, drive identical trucks with each gearset.... Then judge for yourself.
A chart or math calculation won't produce in the real world like it does on paper, or the computer screen.
