When GM wants to increase tow rating numbers they will add a 4:10 axle to their list of options.
2018 DRW Crew 4x4 RAM SAE tow rating is 25,020# with 3.73's and GM's same configuration is 22,700#.
Will be interesting to see what they come up with when the new trans is available.
You need to think about what gears are for and what is required to get a heavy trailer moving ... especially in soft ground or on an incline. The Asin has a low gear ratio of 3.74:1 and the Allison has a first gear ratio of 3.1:1. If you put a 3.42 axle ratio behind the Asin and a 4.10 axle ratio behind the Allison the overall gear ratios would be similar. So a 4.10 equipped Chevy would pull a heavy trailer out of a bog about the same as a 3.42 equipped Ram.
