New England B.S. Thread

3:08 and 3:42, the latter being their 'towing' rear end. Ford has 3:31, 3.55 and 3.73. The 6 speed Ford tows well with the 3:55 and better with 3:73. The new 10 speed is geared a bit lower so the final drive of the 10 speed and 3:31 is about the same as the 6 speed with 3:55.

It's not bad. If you look at the Ram, you can tell they have no confidence in their own transmissions. They highly derate the Cummins if you put one of the Chrysler trannys behind it but give it a big bump in power and torque if you spend an extra $3k and get the Aisin transmission.

Tacoma site but a BS thread. This thread touches on Tacoma related stuff once or twice a day. The rest of the content is heavily littered with other vehicles, sex toys, guns and various other shenanigans.

 

The Aisin is the autobox, right? I built a 2500 with a stick and sunroof for laughs and when it hit 65K I decided that it wasn't for me. If I'm spending 65K on a vehicle, it better be on my lottery list, or at least have a Porsche badge.

It is neat that you can get a stick in a full size regardless.

 

Quite different gears from the Tundra 6 speed with tow package at 4.30 gears

 

Think I’m going to need a class because Massachusetts is stupid and won’t recognize military service as a substitution. Once I get done with climbing school on the weekend I’ll know my schedule better

 

Just let me know

 

Sounds good. I appreciate it!

 

More savagery done today

 

The Aisin is the auto gear box you can get as an option in the 3500 only. You can only get the Chrysler auto or the manual in the 2500.

I wonder what the final drive is for all the makes across the board though, I bet they aren't all that different.

 

Not considering the weight reduction from the F150 aluminum body, it has to be different in some way. Not sure what the F150 5.0 gets but a 5.7 will average about 14-15

 

There is the trans ratios about halfway down the first page in this thread

Sweet - when you going to rip out the bonus room so you can fit some lifts in the garage?

 

Good morning everyone! TFGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh don't worry about getting the day off. You don't have to entertain us. We can warm your house without you. We are good like that. Just leave the door open, we'll take care of the rest.


What a nice (former) home owner.

 

It matches your truck !

 

Morning ... ...I do believe it's Friday ..

 

Happy Friday and Happy December!

Today is my last weekday home in recovery mode. I go back to work Monday, albeit 1/2 days.

 

Wife would kill me. I got plans for the workshop building though. Eventually

Of course you damn TW hooligans don’t need me to do your thing hahahaha

 

Honestly, I've been spying in on a Ferd forum and some people who tow heavy with the F150 aren't having good luck with the new body. They have tried several different setups with the weight distributing hitch, even the high dollar ones, but the general consensus is that the truck is too light. I'm hearing that with people on jobsites also with the new Superduty since it went aluminum. People saying it's too light.

I checked those out. Ford's transmission (looking at the 10 speed) is geared lower but their axles are higher (3:31 or 3:55). I'm not sure if you can get 3.73 gears behind the 10 speed.
1st gear ratio of 4.69:1; 2nd: 2.98:1; 3rd: 2.14:1; 4th: 1.76:1; 5th: 1.52:1; 6th: 1.27:1; 7th: 1.00:1; 8th: 0.85:1; 9th: 0:68:1; and 10th: 0.63:1

 

That is awesome! Work sucks, but just being able to go to work will feel awesome I bet!

 

Interesting. I have heard that the aluminum body frees up a good chunk of weight, but i can see with it being lighter than the truck would probably not stop as well and get some more body roll. If i get a half ton it will be a Tundra, anything bigger and it will be a Chevy or Ford
