correct and that was quick
l come from a farmers family in Germany.
I've known it from some equipment we used back in the 80's or so :-)
Interesting, the super low crawling gear is called “granny gear” here in the states, so both fit!

I've seen some trucks in the US that had an L for low gear. I had a 3500 that had the normal manual shifter but also had another shifter at the base which would put you into Low mode for all those gears including R. It was VERY low, like the truck barely moved but it had all the torque you'd need to pull something.
That actually is very interesting!
I wonder if it is just a coincidence or if there is some kind of connection between the two...
I’ve always heard it as turtle gear, mostly since lots of farm equipment has a turtle and rabbit as slow/fast.
A special gear for grannies??
That's some sick GTA shit.
Despite it being a topic he would never have reason to discuss, something - I couldn't tell you what - about what you said reminded me of my eldest brother.
Put it in "H"!
She'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.
Is this where "Granny gear" started?
It's the ground pin
I didnt know but that's the first Mickey7 post that i see that only checks the boomer vibes and not the gross or sexist ones, and i'm really impressed!
Don't know but I'm pretty sure R is for racing.
you joke but it's a true race!
G-wagon, g-wagon, g-wagon, g-wagon!
Has quite probably the same root.
G-Wagon is short for "Geländewagen" which just means "offroad vehicle" in English.
RCE reference?
But of course!
G-spot.
That's the g spot
No wonder American men can never find that - we need to import more German cars
The R stands for "rocket boost".
Gravitation
Gullible....
Granny Low, youngun.
This reminds me of the B gear in the Prius but it's certainly very different
G for go! Vroom!
Grindy gear
Gessafelstein!
Ghorram.
