To provide more clarification, the 3.42 rear axle is standard on a V6 four-wheel drive truck. The article states that all V6 trucks have the 3.23. Only the two-wheel drive has 3.23. This also allows for a tow rating of 7100 lbs for the four-wheel drive.

It is also important to note that the fuel economy for RAM empty truck was not the same RAM truck for fuel economy towing.
