So i need a truck that can tow 5300lbs. I traded my manual rubicon in for a manual Tacoma TRD off road. (6400lbs capacity)
The tacoma ended up being a waste. The thing was terrible offroad. specifically i blew up three t-cases on the trail.
I wheel hard.
Never broke my jeep in 4 years.
a sport manual with 3.73 gears has a tow capacity of 4000lbs
a rubi manual with 4.1 gears has a tow capacity of 4500lbs
thats a 12% increase in towing with a .37 gearing increase.
4.56 is a .83 increase over 4.1 which is a 24% increase in tow capacity. which would be 5580lbs
4.88 gears would be even better.
will i die if i get the manual, regear it and tow more than 5300lbs?
This just ruined my day finding out the manual transmission is rated for 4,000 lbs. I was 100% going to buy one and get rid of 18' sierra that I purchased 8 months ago, but I need to tow 5,500 lbs.
I was soo excited, now depressed.
