Ram 1500 3.55?
I have been looking at Ram 1500 4 door. Looking at years 2011 to 2013, Most likely 2012. Gear ratio 3.55. Thought need the 3.92 gear, now not sure (see below). I don't ever plan towing greater than 65...

Did you verify the gear ratio on the ones rated to tow 10000?
Well lets say I went to this linkEquipment Listingto see the specific build for a particular truck via the trucks VIN. It would show 3.55.
I would take that same VIN number and enter it into the Look up my vehicle and it would show it tow rating.
I may also have jumped gun to my first thoughts as; the more I look at trucks with the 3.55 gear it appears why I'm seeing the two differences is that a 4x2 with 3.55 tows 8000# and a 4x4 with 3.55 tows 1000#.
I'm doing this for two reasons:
1. So I will not have to go to lot to actual look at the truck when it does not tow what I want.
2. Went to 1 dealer and I asked "what it tows", oh it tows 12000#'s. Looked at sticker and seen 3.21 gear and I KNEW NO WAY A 3.21 CAN TOW 12000#, MUCH LESS A 3.55.
So just trying to avoid useless rides to dealer and dealer saying it tows this. So at least when I get there I know exactly what it tows at least.
