Yukon Gear High Performance Ring & Pinion Rear Gear Set 2016+ Toyota Tacoma 8.75in - 4.88 Ratio

This Yukon Gear & Axle high-performance ring and pinion gear set is designed specifically for the 2016 through 2023 Toyota Tacoma, featuring an 8.75-inch ring gear and a 4.88 ratio. This set includes both the ring gear and the pinion gear, which work together in your vehicle's differential to change the rotational speed from the driveshaft to the axles. Choosing a lower numerical ratio like 4.88 is often done to compensate for the increased tire size or added weight from modifications, helping to restore lost acceleration and improve overall drivability.

Yukon engineers use advanced heat-treating techniques and rigorous quality testing to ensure these gears meet exacting specifications. The gear tooth surface finish is designed to reduce friction and heat, which is beneficial for high-torque conditions and extended use. The gears are made from high-grade steel and are designed to fit OEM specifications, ensuring a solid foundation for your drivetrain. Yukon also backs these gears with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and offers an optional Y.E.S. Plan for lifetime protection.

When installing a new ring and pinion set, it's important to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure to ensure proper seating and longevity of the gears. This typically involves a period of moderate driving with specific speed and acceleration limitations, followed by an oil change. Proper installation by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure optimal performance and durability.
