spec'ing a shed hauler - axle ratio etc

[DVT873]

JMartin, get the close ratio. You won't be happy with the wide ratio. They will likely recommend wide ratio for your application because it has a deeper 1st gear. They don't tell you that you get a wide gap between 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th. It will fall on its nose. Because of the torque converter effect the gradability while less with the close ratio is still beyond what the tires could manage on dry pavement let alone dirt.
