Wrenchtraveller is right on. GVWR has nothing to do with rear end ratios...it has to do with what it will carry (cargo capacity).

Richfaa...I just made post on a different thread re Ford weights. I compared a Ford F250 and Chevy 2500HD, both diesels, 4x4s and CCs. The Ford had about 100 lbs more cargo capacity and an 800 lb higher GVWR. Bottom line the Ford was 700 lb heavier.
