Since they reduced the potential performance of the RAM and Ford trucks by making them all use the 3:73's do you think the results would be the same if they all three offered their BEST towing package?

I sure would like to see all the trucks with different drivetrain specs tested. The Dodge website confuses me. I can build a 3500 truck over 100 different ways?

It's actually Ram, and you can build a 3500 a 100 different way's IF you want to work with the or very fancy or just plain ole truck:), but in reality, you can only get the 3500's with a manual transmission, the 68RFE auto tranny or the Aisin tranny...that's one important option. Now on the 3500 DRW you have the option of 3:42, 3:73 or 4:10 gear that's the other important option...Not really that hard to figure out...You pick the tranny you want and the gearing you want in the Dually. In the SRW truck, you pick the tranny, It only come's with 3:42 gearing...After that, the rest is just how fancy or plain you want your truck.

I've ordered Chevy's and I've ordered the Ram in my sig, and neither one was that big of a deal to put togather, not confusing if you know what you want and every option gives you a definition of the option, just like Chevy does.
