My '83 Ranger is stock.....2wd, TK5 transmission, and the wheels are 14 inch.
The gearing is 3.45.....not bad for level highway. However, I basically stay in town and sometimes pull a 1,500-2,000 lbs. trailer.
I was thinking going with 3.73 which would still be alright for highway, but better for pulling. 4.10 was a thought as well and would be great for towing....but probably crappy for highway.
Any ideas here.....this truck runs awesome....but HATES any incline.
