...because it ain't 3:21
...because I could care less about gas mileage
...Fun Factor
...Chicks love bigger 'Gears"
...for the HOLE SHOTS

...While the Wife may get on me, when I show off in public, the smile on her face shows her Pride
that her man has more.

I personally like my 3:92 because it keeps me fully gorged.

Nice! I have 3.92’s even though I’ve never compared them to another truck and don’t exactly know what the difference would be. Also gas is a write off for me so I don’t care and put 91 in with the tune anyways. Just lucky I guess!

Mich Def LTX275/60/20s (stock). I still have to roll out then hit it or it spins bad also depending on the road (nasa 1 is ok) I still spin on a roll out, just didn’t want to give you false hope lol

I mean I’d swap my 3.21’s to 3.92’s . But I’d prefer the 3.55 for all around.

Faster, stronger and the gas mileage really isn't that bad

I wanted 3.21's. I tow about 8k pounds, with 35's and a 6" lift. It helps quite a bit with gas mileage. Slower off the line, but that's okay. It's big... it's not really needed to go fast. I'm getting 10MPG towing, and 14 - 15MPG on the open road. How epic is that?!!? Love my 3.21's

I've had this thought for over a year now. With 3.21s its still kinda quick!
Pulsar on 8, vararam, pc on sport, fastman tb with 3.21s , 89 gas religiously.
13ish mpg around town , lucky to hit 15 on freeway.
Same bolt ons but minus pulsar and add jay green tune hit this on freeway yesterday. 91 gas...close to where it was bone stock(17-18)
I really dont care about mileage TOO much as it is a heavy rig and too many add ons
Oh yea, company gas card..lol
Still want to swap....
WhytRam gofundme page for rear gear swap.....any contributors???....lol

Meh.... real men have 4:10’s

I guess but my other truck left the factory with 4.27s and i swapped 4.90s in..

I don't really need to prove anything with gear ratios though, no matter what they are it's a weird thing to get a loafer about! :D

We had those on the 4Runner, lasted a long time but hard to tell traction with how little power it has. I always catch the light at Saturn. Very bad spin there trying to get away from the mindless drones poking along. I have 305/35R19 P-Zeros on my Dakota. Added some sand bags as even those were spinning. There is a guy off Almeda Genoa that sells take off tires from Lambos and Porsches. Typically they have at least one patch but waaaay cheaper than new.

Dude, get out of my head. Sounds like my freaking commute. The phone thing drives me nuts. So glad I don't have to turn at Kirby. Traffic is crazy there. We looked a few houses in that area. Glad we are closer to NASA 1.

Thanks, it needs some boost though.

how much better I’d the Jay Greene tune? And what device you flashing it with?

I’m 4x4 and apparently the front gears in the 2016 can’t be swapped anywhere near being simple. If I was doing a full gear swap I’d push to 3.92’s.... or something custom like 3.66’s
