2010 2 dr auto 4.88 28(/75/17 2400 RPMs at 70 mph 17 mpg city

 

For whatever my opinion is worth, I put 4.56 in my 2010 2 door manual with 35s and find it to be a great gearing. I frequently, multiple times a week during the winter, tow a boat that is right around the 2,000 lbs range. There are plenty of hills around (SW Oregon) which means I have to shift into 4th to go up the really big ones while towing. I can easily maintain speeds in the 50-65 range on steep long grades in 5th. While freeway driving I actually use my 6th gear without shifting for every little hill.

Before I went 4.56 I had 3.21 and would have to shift into 3rd to go up the same hills while towing and typically only drove in 4th.

I also found that in town driving I get 16mpg basically no matter how I drive, around 12.5-14 towing.

Good luck with your decision.

 

What mpg are u getting

 

15 around town. Lots of stop lights.

Haven't had a good highway run to get a good number.

 

I have 4.88's and 35's on my jeep and I have no problem towing my trailer, it's a nice combo and I give it two thumbs up.
