That is true, but if I can get all 4 tires to dig into the ground around 2500 rpms while being hooked to a tree, I don't see a reason to start in second. Obviously there's enough torque to generate enough horsepower even at that rpm to spin all 4 tires in 3rd. Appreciate the input!

I did 2nd low last year stock tires 3.73 gears hit and held 5k or so pulled great but fell on its face at 280' ended up with 296. Had I been in first I'd have hit the redline and pulled better. Personal experience in the ecoboost. 1st gear redlined at 17-2nd was 25 I too thought screw that 17 nonsense and went with 2nd gear. My mistake next time will be first
