2014 dodge diesels

I have been looking at these and I have to ask, why are the new trucks coming out with such high gear ratios? something like 3:42's or the likes. is it for gas mileage or is it because of all the torque the engine has? I don't know how they can tow a 35 ft TT but then I stop and think of the semi's on the road, they also have some high gear ratios.
