Default This Is Messed Up: 2013 FX 4 Gear Ratios And Engine Combinations

4.10 gears only available with eco motor, max tow, and 20" premium wheels

3.73/3.55 gears available with eco motor, 5.0 motor.

3.55 gears only choice with 6.2 motor.

What? I don't get it. I run 35's and 3.55 gears are a joke. That's why the Raptor has 4.10 gears. Trying to order a new truck, but Ford sure makes it difficult.

Currently have a 2012 FX 4 with eco and 3.73 gears and it is a slug with 35's

Any Ideas why you can't get 4.10 gears with a 5.0 or 6.2?

Are you sure the 6.2 is only available in the 3.55?

So u want 4:10 rear with a 5.0?


My guess is they make it easier with options and packages, and stick with the most common/popular combos.

that may be, but on the website there is no way to do what the OP wants.

Well that's good news, the order guide I checked on line said no when I clicked 6.2 and 3.73 gears. Only gave me 3.55 option

I will look into it with my dealer, but still no 4.10???

I think you will be able to get 4.10's if he could do the 3.73.

Mine's definitely NOT. I just lit up the rear by accident making the transition from the street to my driveway.
On top of that, changing to '35's' is only a 6% difference in gearing, so there's really no ring and pinion option that's any closer than the stock 3.73s for 'returning' the F.D. to what it was with the stock 32's. I wanna say it'd require a 3.82 ring and pinion, and obviously those aren't made.
In any event, Ford doesn't, nor will it prolly ever take into account the very SMALL portion of F-150 owners who will want to install bigger tires on their truck(s) , when they're deciding on what gearing to offer. If it makes you feel any better, neither does GM or Dodge.
Especially when Ford and Dodge make trucks with what they consider to be 'Serious' off-road performance. In their mind(s), you'd just get a Raptor.

To he op, 35's with the Eco a slug ? This is a truck with one of the most torque friendly gas burners available in a 1/2 ton . Slug? No- what kind of truck are you trying to build?
