Interesting. The three speed ratio is such that I am not pulling much from a stop with 1st gear where it is. Surprised a buyer in 66 would have liked that in his work truck. Knowing what I know now the 4 speed would have been my pick even with the extra cost. That being said the 3 speed drives great on the roads and is comfortable to highway speeds. The 4x4 helps to get the firewood out to the roads.
