Gearing

I have an 06 4x4, 16" rims with factory 245/75/16 and have 4:10s

 

the 2.7 liter is a 4 cylinder... it has to have lower gears to turn the tires over haha.... my 07 has 3.73s and im sure urs have the same. go to toyota.com and look up the specs on ur truck and it will tell u just gotta look for it. the fj cruisers are the only toyotas with the same drive train that have 4.10 gears as an option only (i think)

 

This is all new to me. I've been biting the bullet, but lately since the new wheel and tire set up, I noticed a 14 mpg standard. If changing gear ratio helps, then I need to start shopping now while awaiting this rebete check, cause just driving around Bragg is killing my wallet.

2008 TRD Sport Ext. cab with 2.25 level and 285/75/16's... What ratio is stock, and, should I switch???

 

Tried reading the chart, Not sure what the black blue and yellow stand for... sorry, but can anyone explain???

 

different colors represent like good area bad area type thing... easy way to do it is this http://www.web-cars.com/math/tiresize.html

 

http://www.web-cars.com/cgi-bin/tirechange.pl says 4.55 would keep you to near stock performance... (i input 265's stock 305's now with factory 4.10) so 4.56 like i said before after 5 Tacomas all with lifts i can tell ya 4.56

 

Thanks, now to plan...

 

reference the gear ratio chart:

Yellow Boxes= Hwy Driving Good Fuel Economy
Black Boxes= Daily Driving Best Overall Performance
Blue Boxes= Towing and Power. Poor Fuel Economy


2008's have factory 3:73 gear ratios

 

One thing to remember is that if you put larger (diameter) tires on and don`t correct the speedometer / odometer, then you will be traveling faster and adding more miles than whats registering.Most folks realize this but just a reminder. Bottom line, has your milage suffered as much as you think?

 

hey guys, want to butt in here, 04 2.7 liter factory 4.30s on 265/75/16 revos. want to run 33x9.5 bfg at's consequences and repercussions? My thoughts are that my current set up can handle it and I will not notice much of a difference seeing as how I am trading an inch in width for an inch in height. What do yall think. my revos are 31.9 x 10.5 should mention I have 2.5 lift front and rear

 

Is there a way to correct the speedometer?, on a 1999 tacoma v6 3.4 5 speed?
