Does anyone have 4.88's in their 4runner w/ 22re? What are your opinions? I tow about 2500 lbs. over a very steep grade and back regularly throughout the winter.

Not much fun at altitude, where the motor is even more wimpy than usual. I've got 4.88's with 37's on the 4Runner, which is terrible, but I don't drive it on the street much.

The combo iss OK (just a slight hair over stock ratio), but I think I'f prefer 5.29s (again, b/c of the A/T) to get more use of the powerband on the highway and offroad.

If you are towing much the 5.29's will do you a better job. I run these w/ 35's and could not be happier. 92 Extended Cab 4x4, 3.0 5-Speed Scratched, Dented and Rusted.
