The lower the axle ratio, the lower RPM the engine will turn, which is good for efficiency. A higher axle ratio will trade maximum efficiency for better acceleration and increased responsiveness, and is helpful when towing or carrying heavy loads.

What is a Limited Slip-Differential?

This type of differential uses a device to limit speed and torque differences between its outputs. The limited slip provides assurance that some torque is made available to both wheels, especially on slippery or wet pavement and roadways.

The electronic locking axle allows both wheels to turn at the same speed, and is useful in snowy, muddy, or extremely slippery conditions.
