What is my gear ratio in 5th?
Hi,
I have a 13 2wd xlt which came with 3.15 and 255/65/17. I recently sealed wheels and tires to fx 275/55/20. If my reading and math are correct, I have about a 2.97 ratio with the new tires. I flashed the new tire size which helped with the shifting a little, but it still feels pretty sluggish when not on long flats. I'm planning to swap the to a 3.73 once the warranty is up, but am curious what locking out 6th would put my ratio at in 5th for now. I'm not sure how gearing works too well, so any information will be very helpful. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for my ignorance, but how does that number compare to the higher numbers rated in 6th? For example, the 3.73? Are there no comparison between the two? Thanks again
