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?

The 4.10 gearing will not give you more horsepower.
Gearing will not change the horsepower of a vehicle period.
Only modifications to the engine can increase horsepower.
You are correct, but the 4.10s do offer more torque at the wheels than the 3.73s do. That will help get heavy loads moving. There is a reason the manufacturer increases the tow rating and GCWR by 3000# when you opt for the 4.10s.
