I was scanning over the specs for the lincoln blackwood today, and I noticed something interesting. The gear ratio on a blackwood is 3.73. I was under the impression it was lower on a lightning. Its the higher the #, the tighther the shifting, right? Why would there be a higher ratio on a "luxury" pickup truck than on the L? I could just have no idea what i'm talkin about though

 

Yes the higher the number, the faster the acceleration is...

They probobly did that to give it alittle "kick".

 

3.73 is available on all F-150 based vehicles with an automatic.
