However, the titan also has a 4.x:1 first gear in the auto tranny. Whereas the 1st gear on a E40D/4R100 on a Bronco/F150/F250/F350 SuperDuty E150 E250 E350 etc...is 2.72:1. See the difference? The titan makes up for the lack of rear end gearing.
The smaller the gear ratio (so lower numerically) the smaller your ring gear, which is why titans blow so many rear diffs. If it had 4.55's it would start snapping other things instead of grenading the gears

that is exactly what I was thinking...and iirc the manual tranny has a lower first gear than the auto (tried to check but apparently they decided to chang nissannews and I cant find the specs anymore.)

(sorry if you're on dialup)
(Thanks InYourFace1650)
Also, some 285/75/16's will rub (with stock wheels) with a 2" lift, some will not. (Please stop asking this 6x a week and in every tire thread.)
