With the newer trucks, at least 2020+, I'd make the argument that you should get the LOWEST gear ratio available on the configuration you buy. We have a 2020 Chevy with a Duramax and 3.42 gears (SRW, which is the lowest available), and we have NO issues pulling at all, and our engine isn't pulling it's guts out wrapped up when we are on the road.

With the power that the new trucks make, and especially the 10-speed trannies, there is PLENTY of power there, unless you plan on just pulling around 30,000 lbs all of the time...

JMHO, and yours may vary for sure...
