Fuel Economy: EPA Fuel Economy, Combined/City/Highway (18–23/15–20/22–26) Horsepower: 305 Seating Capacity: Up to 6 ... 3.21 Rear Axle Ratio GVWR: 6,010 lbs 50 State Emissions
Typically, modern one-ton duallys can tow anywhere between 20,000 lbs and 38,000 lbs, depending on engine type and displacement, manufacturer, axle final drive ratio, and various drivetrain ...
Carburetors were improved again, the manual transmission gearshift was moved from the floor to the steering column, there were new 45°-shear engine mounts replacing the previous vertical-shear items, exhaust systems were made of more corrosion-resistant (aluminized) materials, and axle ratios were altered for better fuel economy. Manual ...
To match the new engine, the rear axle ratio was raised to 2.78/1 (and can be identified with 'B' stamped on the diff case). This, combined with the engine, gave the car a much higher top speed of 100 mph, and a fuel economy figure of 72mpg at 56 mph.
The four-wheel-drive models had an NV273 transfer case and Dana 50 front axle. Rear axle ratios of 3.73:1 and 4.30:1 were offered. Rear axle ratios of 3.73:1 and 4.30:1 were offered. During the development of the chassis, Ford learned that its initial design caused smaller vehicles (such as a Ford Taurus ) to become severely overridden in a ...
With the early development of cars and the almost universal rear-wheel drive layout, the final drive (i.e. rear axle) ratio for fast cars was chosen to give the ratio for maximum speed. The gearbox was designed so that, for efficiency, the fastest ratio would be a "direct-drive" or "straight-through" 1:1 ratio, avoiding frictional losses in the ...
In Dec 1968, beginning s/n 66236, the rear axle gear ratio was increased from 4.22:1 to 3.90:1, giving 16.5 mph (26.6 km/h) for every 1000 rpm. This increased final drive ratio gave better fuel economy, but reduced acceleration.
There was the Fiero Coupe, the Sport Coupe and the SE. The Fiero Coupe, also called "Fuel Economy Leader", came with the MY-8 4-speed manual transaxle that had a 0.73 overdrive top gear along with a high mpg 3.32:1 axle ratio. This gave it an EPA highway/city rating of 50/31 mpg. Air conditioning and automatic transaxle could not be ordered.
