Hey John!
The "properly equipped" truck has 3.92 gears. This gearing will provide you
with the highest GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating). You will loose
around 300lbs off of the trailer capacity due to the 4x4, but the 3.92 will
bring back the power for the hills.
HTH!!

Subject: DML: towing trailer
Hello,
I am towing a 25 ft 3700 lb travel trailer with my 97 4x4 318. I checked
what gears I have in the back and my glove box says 3.5 (not 3.55). The
truck seems to loose power
in the hills, is there a better gearing to have for towing? I am thinking
of getting a k&n filter charger and a new performance TB. Would these
help or hurt me? I am looking for more power towing, any ideas? I would
rather modify my Dakota than buy a new truck.
Thanks.
John
