Test drove a Cummins last night.
Man that thing is sooo smooth. You can't hardly feel it change gears at all. Factory exhaust brake is pretty cool, didn't expect it to work as good as it does. The ride quality with the rear coils ...

I personally dislike how Ram only offers 3.42's in their SRW's but not much can be done about that unless you have the dealer do a swap before delivery. Personally I would be having 4.10's swapped in before delivery but I do a lot of heavy driving up steep grades at slow speeds where the 3.42's and 1st just aren't low enough.
Yea, I was a bit curious about that as well. I guess they figure the 2500 has a max tow rating of 17K and the 3.42 handles it fine. It isn't until you get to DRW and tow ratings bump into the 20K+ range that they even offer a lower rear axle ratio. I guess they know what they are doing...
