transmz9 left a couple of links for a couple of Rams, a gasser and a diesel that are similar in price. The diesel does not quite have the amenities of the gasser, but still the same price. I couldn't find a rear end number, but would think the gasser would have a 4.10 and the diesel would have a 3.42. Probably get about the same towing experience with either one. I was unhappy with my 2012 "derated" Ram diesel with the six-speed manual and a 3.42 rear end, but some people probably won't be.
what is the difference between the 2012 "derated" diesel and the current version?
The emissions system is much better on the 2013+ CTD's. The manual transmission still gets tuned back on power and torque, but I don't know offhand how the numbers compare.
