  3 73 vs 4 10

Howdy, folks. I'm specing out a 2004 2500 HD quad 4x4 with the HO Cummins and 6-spd manual transmission. I don't know whether I ought to go for the 3.73 or 4.10 axle. This truck will be my primary vehicle, mostly driving two-lane roads. On some occasions I'll need to tow a trailer loaded with a Kubota 3130 +FEL + backhoe, or a stock trailer with a couple of cows.

Am I correct in thinking the 4.1.0 would be better than the 3.73 only if I were towing heavy loads quite frequently? And that the 3.73 would be more suitable for my only occasional towing needs?

I'm so far from a gearhead it's pitiful. Could anyone take a stab at explaining why each ratio is suited for its purposes?

Finally, not being a gearhead, I find it odd that the 1500 Rams are available with 20-inch wheels, but the 2500s are not. What's that all about?

thanks for any info, bws

Howdy, folks. Thanks for all the answers. They are very helpful. Now if I can just get a not-too-outrageous price....
