that graph feels like it has too many axis(axii?).
anyways, i have spent a lot of time with a 92 2.3/5 speed/2WD/3.45 ranger....
it pulls itself along in 5th as low as 40MPH without too much complaint from the engine and will accelerate(slowly) as long as you're not going up too much of an angle. sitting at 55, i feel like i could grab an extra gear if there were one, i want to say the engine is sitting around 2000RPM at that point. at 70, it's super buzzy and definitely could use a 6th gear. i wouldn't want to go with numerically higher gearing, or else you'll be moving yourself even further away from the torque peak.
