Hey all! I'm looking to see if anyone on here has direct experience with both gear ratios offered on the 2500. Long story short, I'm moving up from a 2014 1500 with the 3.92. Five years ago when I was considering 3.21 vs 3.92, I didn't think I'd "need" the 3.92 -- but the truck I found on the lot had it and I have absolutely loved the peppiness -- no regrets.
So now that I'm moving up to a 2500 I'm trying to decide what gearing option to select. On the 1500, in my opinion there is a noticeable difference between the 3.21 (when renting / out of town) and the 3.92 on my daily driver. For anyone who has driven both or owned both -- what's your opinion? Edit: Engine choice will be the Hemi.
Towing really wouldn't be an issue with either option. Half the year I occasionally tow my 11k pound food trailer. 99% of my mileage is without a trailer attached. Would the 3.73 perform closer to the 3.21 or 3.92 on the 1500? MPGs aren't a main concern because I know either way it'll be pretty terrible. Any calculations out there as to RPMS at say 75 mph? I'm ordering this truck so I want to get it right and hopefully have no regrets!
