I love the 6-spd especially for towing. Low is 5.79 to 1, first is 3.30 to 1, and reverse is 5.23 to 1. With the 4.30 rear and the V10 I can put it in low or first and just idle around pastures. Even pulling a trailer you can idle around in low. This is with the V10 of course. So far I don't have any complaints, but there have been some problems reported. I think you won't be dissappointed, but then again it is a Ford
