Most Dually's have low ratios to be usable for pulling/hauling. Last 10yrs
or so, that has been 4.11 or maybe it's 4.10, and occasionally you could
order 3.73 for a little lighter GVW truck, don't think Dually, but smaller
engines and reduced GVW because of it. If you're looking for Economy, you're
not gonna get it with any big truck rear-end. If you want/need that, stick
to 1/2 tons.
