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 ?

So when I was towing the 5th wheel at 24,500 combined I towed at 60 MPH in 5th. Then came the little commuter TT with a combined 16K weight, and towing at 60 in 5th it got almost the same mileage was the heavier 5th wheel. So I have learned to tow without TH in slower areas like California and let it shift to 6th gear. In Az, Or and Wa I towed at 65-66 in 6th and mileage was better.
Thanks for the input. This sounds like a good idea as the Cummins and Aisin only shift to 6th over about 64 to 65 MPH from what I have noticed in tow/haul mode and I highly doubt that towing a 10,000 lb bumper pull will be a problem in 6th at 60 MPH.
