- 2nd Gear: Engages after the truck is rolling. Used for low-speed maneuvering, negotiating tight corners, and climbing steep inclines.
- 3rd Gear: Used for city driving and slow acceleration.
- 4th Gear: Engages at higher speeds, allowing the truck to maintain momentum on flat roads.
- 5th Gear: Used for highway cruising at moderate speeds.
- 6th Gear: The highest gear, providing maximum fuel efficiency for the truck at sustained highway speeds.
- Reverse Gear: Engages for moving the truck backward.
2. Automatic Transmission:
- 1st Gear: Used for starting from a standstill.
- 2nd Gear: Engages after the truck reaches a low preset speed.
- 3rd Gear: Used for city driving and moderate acceleration.
- 4th Gear: Engages at higher speeds, allowing the truck to maintain momentum on flat roads.
- 5th Gear: Used for highway cruising at moderate speeds.
- 6th Gear: The highest gear, providing maximum fuel efficiency for the truck at sustained highway speeds.
