gear ratio?
What makes a heavy vehicle like a bakkie, truck, or van get into motion so
easily? You have to change gears very quickly but you can release the clutch
right after it starts moving.
What I am trying to say is it is easier to pull away with a vehicle that has
this close gear configuration.
What do you call this?
Something to do with gear ratio?

Yep, it's low ratio. Of course you hit the rec limiter at 4mph though.

Who uses a clutch? For other than the initial start and final stop, I mean.
