The axle ratio is the proportion between a vehicles driveshaft rotation and its driving wheel axle. For example, a 3:1 axle ratio means that the driveshaft turns three times for every rotation of the driving wheels. By changing a vehicles axle ratio, you may change its towing capacity, but this also depends on the engines power, naturally.
