I think the mechanical reason is the 3.73 gear ratio.
The marketing or competitive reason is their is limited market or reason to compete for customers at the higher tow rating.
Maybe GM needs to consider adding other gear ratios, however there is no market share or real demand for them to do so. Bragging rights do not always equate to sales.
YES the 3.73 was part of it but the RAM had at least 3k more SAE towing with the same gears and LESS power.
What do you think of the 3,42's? I'm thinking EXTREMELY low starting and reverse gearing.
Personally I would love to lock out my 1st gear with 4.10's and AISIN when running BobTail.
