An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

[Dewey]

Thought this thread was about gears?

Since we’re now talking about luxury I think there needs to be a reminder of what luxury actually looks like.

Hint…..there is no such thing as a luxury truck. Not even close.

Compared to my 1985 F150, my ram is definitely luxury.

Talking about luxury.

My truck is more comfortable than the wife’s BMW. Mine actually has more stuff than the BMW and it is top of the line.

Aint gonna race however!

I mean not really.
My truck is full leather, HUD, large radio display, accent lighting, full roof sunroof, 360 degree cameras and even a camera for my review view mirror, air suspension, 22 inch rims.
I guess I am missing the DVD player, but I can play videos on my head unit if I want to
Luxury doesn't need to mean supercar or I spent $250k for this car\truck.
Can get an Infiniti for way cheaper then my Ram and it's an Luxury\sports car.
My truck is a luxury sports truck in it's current state. OEM it was just a luxury truck imo.

I mean, RAM did win MotorTrend Luxury vehicle of the year award a few years ago

My truck has everything an Escalade has... Not everyone drives a base trim Ram.
You seem to have a warped perception of Luxury at least when it comes to vehicles.

Luxury... yep, pickup truck is just what I think of when I think "luxury" vehicle.

As I said, not everyone drives a base trim like you do...

Hell, I have half the stuff you do, and cloth seats. I still think it’s luxurious lol

Guess it depends on your other/previous vehicles

That’s hilarious

Maybe in the truck class. Only way that would make sense.

A Laramie Longhorn even. That’s a real shot at the Limited.

Longhorn and Limited could can be optioned to have the same things, it's just a different inside color option. Longhorn is a Limited, Laramie Longhorn was an older name but a Longhorn never had an Laramie option package.
My Limiteds seats said Laramie Limited on the physical tag despite my truck just being a limited.

Luxury....... .... ....... Whew! That's a good one.

Just because you maxed your credit limit and took that last $694 out of your savings to buy it, does not make it a luxury vehicle.

Premium Cloth.

You made it. You livin bro.

P.S. We are all, so very proud of you.

3.21’s provide the ultimate luxury.

I don’t know Dewey all that up shifting and downshifting while on the highway sometimes spilled my caramel macchiato. Never had that happen in my 3.92 truck.

All that extra torque with the 3.92 will send that caramel macchiato flying right to the back of your cab.
