2020 Ram 2500 CTD owners
I have a '16 Ram 2500 CTD that I love except towing. I wish it had the 3.73 rearend instead of the 3.42. What is your rpm at 7o mph in 5th and 6th gears ?

When towing my 11,000 5er, if I let it shift into 6th at around 1200 rpm @65 mph, anything more than a slight uphill grade, will cause it to drop to 5th gear. If I keep it in 5th gear, around 1700 rpm @65 mph, it will stay in 5th for most hills...not talking mountains here.
So most of the time I keep it in 5th and I usually use the cruise control.
