After thinking about it, I can see the appeal of taking it out of O/D in windy conditions. It wont feel like you ran into a wall if a strong gust hits you. I occasionally take the truck out of O/D in the city where my speed ranges from 5-45 mph. I'll even shift into 2nd if traffic is bad. I remember that locking it into 1st gear came in handy when I was hauling 3 kayaks and gear (plus an almost full ice chest
) through Austin during rush hour.
So then on the newer ones is 6th gear O/D? I havent seen the new ratios, but I know they are floating on the internet somewhere. Time to go cyberfishing.
(I bet Bill is completely thrilled about the two extra gears he needs to tune for
)
