What gears do I need?
Looking at a Ram 2500 to pull a 7K travel trailer. It will be a gasser with the 6.4 hemi. Should I get the 4.10 rear end or will the 3.73 do what I need?

NO NO NO to the 4:10. It is uneccessary. I had this truck with a 3:73 and it is fine. What affects you much more than the rear end ratio is the 6 speed transmission which gives you gearing plenty low enough to start from a dead stop on any incline you will ever find yourself on.
Further the 4:10 will make what is not great gas mileage much worse.
If you really want to avoid any issues at all just spring for the TDSL Cummins version. That is what I traded my 5.7L Hemi on and have never regretted it.
