You'll get to 3000 more efficiently with 3.21...

Nah. It'll take more trips because you can't tow anything with those.

How I wish 3.21s were available on the Rebel. My boat weighs, maybe, 2000 pounds.

No one mentioned it, but you can get great mileage on 3.92 - just drive 60mph. I'm half joking, but I took a call once, stuck behind a real truck, and adaptive cruise control kept me behind it at 55mph. Because I had to focus on the call, I just sat there for the entire 30 mile drive. I got 23 mpg.

Same number of trips.
3.21 will have to break the load down
3.92 can't make it one go because of low mpg

I got the eTorque. Free fuel economy.

But it would be a boring and slow trip.

But you don’t have to stop for gas

good explanation.. and thats why I chose 3.21

Yep, a goog fisherman is never in a hurry. Slow, never sure that you will ever get what you are after, still trying. Yea, that's kind of like a "truck" with 3.21 gears.

What kind of fish is a goog? Maybe it’s a 3.92 thing…..

Is that the fish you can only catch at night, by the light of the moonshine? I was shooting at some goog fish in a barrel this weekend!!

He meant he was buying Google stock.

bunch of weirdos worrying about MPGs in a $65K truck with a V8. It may be time for you to sell that gas hog and get a Tesla. I hear they are making trucks...someday Tesla Owners Online Forum

if it’s even possible to get this thread back on the rails…which is better with 35 inch tires? assuming the 5.7

 

[TNRamGuy]

3.92 is better for pretty much every single possible scenario. Except 'I should have bought a Prius '

@TNRamGuy gets it. They fish by the light of the moonshine down there too! (It's just not as good as VA shine)

You mean to say none of you guys ever had goog fish?

It's impossible to be any more correct than this.
