I'd like to know whether a higher or lower gear ratio is better for towing. Considering a 2013 or 14 Silverado 2500 4wd. I plan to be in mountains as well as flats. Don't know what I'm going to tow...
I've been driving diesels since the early 80's (VW). These new ones are amazing. I started mine up yesterday and immediately walked back to stand by the exhaust pipe. There was no smoke and no odor. Zip. Nada. Zero. Just crazy amazing. And mine is super quiet. In fact I'll bet my diesel is quieter pulling my 14,000 pound trailer at 60 MPH and about 1700 RPMs (3.73 gears) then a gasser doing the same - especially up any kind of hill. I don't ever want to own another gasser vehicle.
