Truck Shopping for Fiver

Everyone: Thank you all so much for your responses! Super helpful!
Due to price, likely going with 2021 RAM Bighorn with some add ons. Mid $60's. Can't see going $10-$20k more for the Limited or Laramie. Since my current TV will no longer be a teenager this year, I think I'll be fine with what's in the Bighorn.
To answer a few questions that came up:
Diesel -- Yes going with that (was in original post)
Fuel Tank -- It's my understanding that RAM standard tank size is 31-32 gallons. It's a $295 option to go with the 50 gal. Seems like it's about half and half what out there. I'm looking more for convenience (stretching and walking at a rest area instead of fuel stop) and driving past higher fuel prices.
I've only seen 6 speed tranny in the RAMs I've come across. Current TV has 4 speed, so the 6 will seem nice.
Further Questions:
Seems like the 4.10 gears get you 30k towing while the 3.42 seems to be at 24k, more than enough for us. How much will fuel economy (or lack there of) differ in these two?
Thanks, again!
