4:10 or 3:73 ?

Possible upgrading to Ram dually. I'm pulling 12,500# gvw with SRW and 3.42 rear end. Usually lock 6th gear out. Plan is to move up to new 15,000# gvw 5th. Not sure if I want to get 4.10 or 3:73.
Whata ya think?
  • I think I would go to the 4:10 I did, if for some reason that seems a bit steep you can always go with a slightly taller tire. I do not pull that much weight but put on 4:10 with my 35 in tires and it is working good for me. just thought
  • Tough call!
    Either will do the job.
    Will you be towing in the mountains much? Driving empty often?
  • Will you use the new TV much other than for towing? Will you frequently be in the Sierras or Rockies?
