So...............my SWB 2.3 FWD has a 5.13 ratio back axle.Is this good for towing(light or heavy loads).Top speed.Acceleration(is quite quick anyway and axle hops.)Economy??

New area for me.

..if its a rwd with a 5.13 axel yes that is a towing axel

Sorry hit the F instead of the R.Doh!!

So what would I need to put a bit more on the road and not worry about the towing ability.

A 4.63 would reduce the revs at 70 and possibly help the fuel consumption

by **mealic** » Sun Jun 20, 2010 10:15 pm

would a 4.63 still have the same initial acceleration from standing start?
