2100 rpm in 5th at 70 mph is somewhere near both the 3.27 and the 3.45


3.27 = 2151 rpm (55 mph/4th gear)
1700 rpm (55 mph/5th gear)
2016 rpm (65 mph/5th gear)

3.45 = 2270 rpm (55 mph/4th gear)
1793 rpm (55 mph/5th gear)
2127 rpm (65 mph/5th gear)

My Ranger at 3100 lbs would be slow then? If I'm reading you and Ecky right it sounds like a bit of a balancing act.
