I've read pretty much everything on here about this and I am writing because I think my situation hasn't really been kicked around considering the nature of my towing.
From what I've read if I am towing flat, then the 3.73. If I am towing hilly, then 4.10. Well, I live in Minnesota and we take month-long trips all over...Texas, Florida, Appalachia, Rockies etc., pulling our 8.7k pound trailer. So, not hills all the time and not flat all the time. I currently have a 2009 Ram 2500 with the 3.73 and it does "ok"; I just have to "wind it up" before I hit the big hills (think Appalachian mountains kind of hills). I intend to stick with gas, so upgrade to 6.4 is on the short horizon.
The 4.10 is more rare than hen's teeth, and from what I read here the difference between a 3.73 and 4.10 is negligible. Those of you with experience in these platforms, should I even bother with an exhaustive search for a 4.10 considering the variable nature of my towing?
