What Are The Benefits Of Adding Gears To My Campervan

 

[Osuagwu Solomon]

Re-gearing your four-wheel-drive vehicle or truck is a relatively simple mechanical process that will reward you with improved off-road driving dynamics. Installing a numerically higher differential ratio will result in an improved acceleration and higher torque.

You can't change the fact that the engine produces maximum torque at higher RPMs (revolution per minutes) because that's how internal combustion engines work, but you can change how that torque is delivered with different gearing. High RPMs do not imply a fast vehicle.

Many off-road enthusiasts install larger all-terrain tires, which has an impact on driving dynamics because it changes the factory setup. However, if you want a larger tire but don't want to sacrifice performance and acceleration, then, consider installing higher gears.

In addition, because larger tires have more rolling resistance and a wider grip surface, higher gearing will better mobilize engine power to deal with it.

Simple putting it, you'll have more of what power you have on the ground.
