You are only considering 1/3rd of the equation by just posting in the rear end gear. That basically tells you nothing without the transfer case gearing and transmission gearing factored in.The Rubicons have a 4:10 gear. Guys that run 35s with the 4:10 say it is just right, the off road die hards go with a lower gear (higher number).
Seems like a 4.46 gear would be plenty for most.
There’s no doubt 4.7 will work better with 35 or even 37 for mechanical advantage. But as I stated in the OP that this will be daily and fwy cruiser 70-80%, I prefer fuel eco over power/accel.With a 10 speed automatic, I would option for the 4.7 gear ratio. It would better for the future if larger tires are installed and since it was installed at the factory, there would be no warranty issues versus installing it after the fact.
No, only comes with SAS package. See attachment in post #6.Does the Badlands not automatically come with 4.7 or do you need Sasquatch to get it on that trim?
Understood. As long as the vehicle does not fight to remain in 9th or 10th gear which will impact MPG as well. Much like the Jeep Wrangler, it is a box going down the highway. I have a JLUR and am looking to buy a Bronco in the future (in addtion to the Rubicon) and like the fact that Ford is offering optional ratios in the axles and has a 10 speed transmission.There’s no doubt 4.7 will work better with 35 or even 37 for mechanical advantage. But as I stated in the OP that this will be daily and fwy cruiser 70-80%, I prefer fuel eco over power/accel.
My experience at the dealer today led me to seek this thread out, glad I found it. 4.46 it is.It's been confirmed....4.7 is only available with the Quach. B7P is incorrect!
It does, but if you get the automatic you lose it. To get it back you’ve got to go Sasquatch.Does the Badlands not automatically come with 4.7 or do you need Sasquatch to get it on that trim?
