Question/Difference of:<>HP<>Torque<>Rear

[Ron]

Noticed that RoadTrek and PleasureWay both have a HP of 323 @ 4,600 RPM, the
Free Flight has a HP of 300 @ 4400 RPM.

RoadTrek and PleasureWay both have a Torque of 373 @ 4,400 RPM, Free Flight
has a Torque of 360 @ 4000 RPM.

PleasureWay and Free Flight have a Rear Axle Ratio of 3.73, RoadTrek has a
Rear Axle Ratio of 4.10.

Question/Difference on: HP 323 @ 4,600 RPM -vs- 300 @ 4,400?

Question/Difference on: Torque 373 @ 4,400 RPM -vs- 360 @ 4,000 RPM?


Question/Difference on: Rear Axle Ratio 4.10 -vs- 3.73

<Am I correct that the Rear Axle Ratio of 4.10 is best for towing as
compared to a Rear Axle Ratio of 3.73, does this have anything to do with better
fuel mileage?>
