everyone hate there 3:21 gears?

[theblet]

And the fact of the matter, if towing meant that much to me, Id have bought the 3.92 or a 2500. The towing loss is inconsequential to me as the heaviest thing I tow is a 3000 lb car on a 2000 lb trailer and thats twice a year if that

I barely tow as well. So it didn't matter to me. This truck has all the features and color i wanted, so if it came with 3.92s i would've bought it anyway.

You say that but I'm regularly in the 18's mpg in the city and theres a lot of threads with 3.92 guys complaining that they are in the 14-15's in the city and 17-18 on the highway. Yeah theres some guys saying their 3.92 truck gets 20 on the highway but they leave out the fact that they are driving 57-60 mph to do that

There's absolutely zero logic saying that 3.21's get better MPG's in town. Above 75 mph? Yes.

I personally would choose 3.92s no matter what. I had 2 old chevy 1500s with 3.42 gears from factory, anything above stock tire size it was a dog. Gas mileage was great but power wise I always wanted more. Towing was alright. I know they were the old 4 speed but still. I swore to myself I would never again buy a truck that was undergeared. I say it this way I would rather have the deeper gears rather than wondering what a truck with deeper gears would be like, or ever wishing I would have gotten deeper gears. So take that with a grain of salt as you will. With the 8 speed 3.21 vs 3.92 It not like the 4 speed days where it would make a huge difference. If you want gas mileage, 3.21, if you want to run 35-37s or tow a lot 3.92s.

if you want to tow stuff correctly you should have 4.11 gears minimum anyway

I’m guessing many here never owned a truck with big tires in the 80’s-90’s powered by a barely 200 hp motor and major highway gear ratios.

Saying you can’t get the job done with a 395 hp Hemi using 3.21 gears is being a tad bit dramatic. If your at the upper limits of the towing capacity often enough for it to be a problem you obviously shouldn’t have bought a 1/2 ton truck. A Cummin’s would make much more sense.

I’m betting a good number of truck owners tooting their horn about how great 3.92’s are never once left the pavement and never once had anything hitched up to tow. They just drive them like a car and try to look cool and tell everyone how great their 3.92’s are.

Yup exactly because they have 3.92 it’s the best and 90% of the time there truck box is probly empty and pulling a ghost trailer haha
Hell my 89 suburban with only a 350 small block on 37s still towed travel trailer and my horse trailer and with only 210hp

I don't even understand why this is an argument anymore. Buy what you want, if you don't know test drive them.

Except the simple resistance of air has a 3.21 struggling to get that fast. 3.92 trucks just glide along.

 

[Mountain Whiskey]

And some ladies prefer 3.92 lol

Yes, because they know a man is driving with 3.92 gears. They just sense the Testosterone and then see the huge avocados and melt.

That’s what all rams with AAD should have 3.92s

 

[Bigzway]

The 3.21 did great in the mountains around Angel Fire New Mexico and doing 85mph there and back to Texas flew by some 3.92 with a screaming Hemi

 

[Dewey]

Then the 3.92 guy woke up from his obviously wet dream and realized it wasn’t her melons he was feeling up but actually is own little avocados.

I also have Yokohama MT G003 275/65 20 64lbs each not like the passenger car tires on most trucks

That’s a odd thing to say lol those 3.92 must be making up for a something haha

Yet I get 18 in the city, you?

Talking about the big avocados all the time sounds like the low T treatment is working lmao

A short legged man you mean and that melting is actually them passing out over the hysteria of your "short legs" like a those fainting goats, just to wake up look at you then start laughing again and fainting

It is, 3.92 guys like to rub avocado paste on each other while drinking pumpkin spice lattes and tell each other how much they can tow.

Nope. I get 16-16.5 in the city.

If you are getting 18 city, it's not because of 3.21 gears, it's your eTorque.
