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?

When I decided to go with 6.4 Gas over diesel, I specifically looked for the 4.10 rear end with Limited slip (much to the chagrin of the sales guy). Coming from a 2000 Dodge 1500 with the 5.9 & 3.55s, I have no regrets about it, though either ratio would be a quantum leap from what I had.
Mine is a 2014, and am very pleased with how it drives unloaded & tows - my trailer is just over 6K loaded. I think my truck is overkill for this trailer, but there's nothing wrong with that - I just wanted 2K+ payload, and half tons like that are quite rare.
This will be my first winter with it, I'm interested to see how it does in the snow.
