 Gear Ratio

For driving uphill, lower gears are preferred to gain max

power.

From the chart, we can see that,

gear ratio = 3.78 for 1st gear

Grade (ϴ)
For 4WD:-

The tractive force will be equal to the

combined weight of the van and boat
times the grade angle.
 kerb weight(kg) 1885
passenger weight(kg) 700

Calculations
Gross weight W (kg) 2585

trailer weight Wd (kg) 1000

Grade W / (W + Wd) 0.7210599721

Engine Torque (Nm) 400

Engine Power (bhp) 172.45
Tractive force = (Engine Torque)*(Driveline
efficiency)* (Gear ratio)*(final drive ratio)
Gear Reduction Ratio 3.78 for 1st gear

Conclusion

Based on our calculations,

We saw that 23.2% of the road has grade > 10% making it
difficult to travel when it is covered in compressed snow.
Also, around 10% of the road has grade > 15% making it
difficult to travel when it is covered in ice.
