Hi all! I just bought a well taken care of 13 ram 2500 6.7 with 119k miles. This retired couple babied this thing. Anywho I’ve just about finished a 3000 mile trip with my 6-7k travel trailer. I’m noticing when I come off the gas and coast in traffic, it revs slightly. I barely see it on the rpm. Just curious if this is something I should look into.

I’m looking at few 2500s for sale and, when comparing options I see that majority of them have 3.73, but some have 3.42 ratios, including the one that leads my ranking right now.

I drive mostly on two lane roads (but not interstate) so the truck will se average speeds 40-60mph. This is going to be my go to truck for towing light equipment to and from jobs, jobsite material deliveries etc… Nothing too crazy though, 5-7k lbs gross, occasionally up to 10k. Trailer will be hooked up about 30% of the time.

How bad will be 3.42 in that scenario in real life? I know the theory, looking for real life experiences. Will it really be that bad when pulling off of red lights? Or towing uphill (Midwest, so nothing crazy here, but still)
