Suggestion: 4.833 final drive ratio for Mercedes 16 speed

[hainan]

Hi to all

I have done some driving tests since the heavy cargo package was released.

Default final ratio 5.333 in game is suitable for very heavy hauling works. But Mercedes offers two other values besides this value; 4.833 and 6.000.

I have calculated overdrive gear (16.) ratio speed from http://www.apexgarage.com with different final drive ratios. Here is the results.

Test Info
SLT Drive Axles Tyre Size: 315/80R 22.5
Tire Diameter (In.): 42.30
Test RPM: 2000
16. gear ratio: 0.69

Results
Final Drive Ratio: 4.833 Speed (mph):75 Speed (kmh): 121
Final Drive Ratio: 5.333 Speed (mph):68 Speed (kmh): 109
Final Drive Ratio: 6.000 Speed (mph):61 Speed (kmh): 97

I think alternatively the use of the ratio 4.833 allows Mercedes SLT truck (also other chassis 6x4 and 4x2) to adapt to different cargo handling with 16-speeds flexible driving feature.

So please offer as an alternative G280-16 R gearbox with 4.833 final drive ratio.

Thanks. Best Regards.
