But it soon became apparent that with all the different vehicle applications and rear axle combinations required, just the difficulty of this type of installation, the idea would be both impractical and outrageously expensive. But what about a 2-speed that didn't have to be installed in the rear axle?

This would allow one basic gear box, with the various applications handled with relatively inexpensive adapters. And now, the installation could be handled by almost any knowledgeable service center. The results? The birth of the Dual Range Auxiliary Transmission.

Why A 2-Speed?

Since the late 70's the large majority of RV towing has been done with 1/2 ton - 1 ton truck type vehicles: most are equipped with three speed automatic transmissions. With towing weights as high as 12,000 - 15,000 lbs. there is no way, especially with the horsepower available, to have enough gearing for low speed pulling and still be able to cruise economically at interstate speeds. By selecting the proper Dual Range to complement your existing gear ratios, you can in fact enjoy both.
