I would guess those two numbers are backwards. Or the numbers could be for an auto vs a manual transmission (alot of times the auto's have different gearing to account for a difference in efficiency).

The source was Cars.com. I was thinking lower gears for the 4x4 so hard, what with cut & paste, that's what I thought I was posting. Looking a little closer at Car.com's specs, those gears are supposed standard equipment on each version.
Wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't put 3.08s into the 4x4, but that would just be another expense (and might not work so well depending final curb weight and desired hauling capacity.)
