I have seen this discussed on the forums but was unable to find anything that provided me with guidance in making my decision.
If you configure a non sasquatched Badlands, you are able to pick between the 4.46 and 4.7 gearing ratio. The 4.7 gear ratio is what comes standard on all sasquatch packages. The higher gearing helps with larger tires. The question here is, what benefits would I get and what would I lose by switching to the 4.7 gearing with 33" tires?
What I've gathered so far:
Benefits:
- Faster acceleration
- Gives you the option to increase tire size down the road and have an ideal gearing ratio already installed
Detriments:
- lower MPG
If the MPG difference is negligible like I've read, then would I be crazy not to go with the 4.7 gearing on my non-sasquatched Badlands?
