Ram 1500 3.55?
I have been looking at Ram 1500 4 door. Looking at years 2011 to 2013, Most likely 2012. Gear ratio 3.55. Thought need the 3.92 gear, now not sure (see below). I don't ever plan towing greater than 65...

Did more looking and it appears that a 3.55 4x4 can tow 10000# where a 3.55 4x2 tows 8000#

Thanks for all the post have learned I also need to look at payload in my search.
Yes on paper, 3.92 gears can pull 10,000 lb but don't be fooled by this. As others have mentioned, you will run out of payload well before you get anywhere near 10,000.
My RAM 1500 with 3.92 gears is rated to 10,800 lb but I would never consider pulling any more then 7,000 lbs max due to overall truck payload constraints.
