Yes your torque will be the same, but a higher number gearing will always give more torque.
I was at a 4x4 truck pull where they see who can pull the other one backwards, and a old 1980 GMC 2500 with 4:56 gears, and small tires was pulling new Fords, Rams, backwards while they were smoking their tires.lol
Like I said I can downshift, which provides a higher number gear ratio resulting in the engine speeding up. This yields the same torque on the rear axle because the Cummins ISX 15 liter engine has a flat power curve over a three gear range of the transmission.
