I have a 2012 hemi 1500 with 3.92 gears. My tt is 7400lb and my gross combined weight is 13,200lbs. For the flat lands are gradual hills I can pull mostly in 5th. Speed I've noticed is a huge factor as towing at 65 mph requires much more shifting into 4th while towing between 60-62 requires much less shifting so I tend to go a little slower. Larger hill have required shifting into 3rd.
For what you describe I think you'll be happy. For 2014 the 2500 will be getting a larger 6.4 hemi with cylinder deactivation. It will also be getting rear coil suspension for a better ride. Something to consider since your not towing a lot. However if you don't want to wait another year I think that truck would make you very happy if your not towing in the rockies.
