* Engine size: Larger engines often came with lower gear ratios (e.g., 3.08, 3.55) for better fuel economy on the highway, while smaller engines might have higher ratios (e.g., 3.73, 4.10) for better low-end torque.
* Transmission type: Automatic vs. manual transmissions could influence the chosen gear ratio.
* Payload capacity: Heavier-duty trucks often had lower numerical ratios for towing.
* Optional equipment: Towing packages could also affect the gear ratio.
To find the rear-end gear ratio of a *specific* 1995 Ford F-150, you need to check one of the following:
* The vehicle's sticker: Look for a sticker on the driver's side doorjamb or inside the glove box. This often lists the axle ratio.
* The owner's manual: The owner's manual may specify the gear ratio.
* The build sheet (if available): A build sheet from the factory will definitively state the specifications.
* The differential itself: The ratio is stamped on a tag on the differential cover (usually requires removing the cover). This is the most reliable method but is more involved.
Without knowing the specific truck's configuration, it's impossible to give you the correct rear-end gear ratio.
