It would be silly to run a new Ram CTD at 2100 rpms all day. My 12 runs around 1700-1800 at 65 mph or so. Even when I'm running in the mtns and lock out 6th it's never over 2000 rpms and usually around 1800-1900. I would suggest that just for giggles you trot on down to the nearest Ram dealer and test drive one.
My '98 12v Cummins ran 2500rpm all day towing or not. Had no choice with the 4.10/5spd. It was actually quieter than the clatterless '03 common rail Cummins at 2100rpm. The 2001.5 3.55/6spd was a pleasure to drive at 1750rpm. Just the same, the Ford is quieter in my experiences as well as the recent FLTruck test.
