I have a 2012 Ram 3500 DRW with the 3.73 and max tow package. Towing 16,455 lbs mine will hold 6th gear through the normal smaller rolling hills, but put any significant grade on it and it will drop to fifth or fourth if necessary. I too noticed that the fuel economy is not where my Duramax Chevy's ran. With speeds mainly the same, load is within a 1,000 lbs, I went from 12-13 mpg down to 10-11 mpg with this Ram. I attribute that to all the EPA exhaust garbage they have put on the newer trucks. Hopefully your dealer will find something.

Just so you know, the max tow only comes in 4.10 gears. If you were looking at your sticker that was in the window when you bought the truck, in the left column it does say 3.73 and the right column under options it says Max tow 4.10.
That's what it said on mine. At first I thought I had 3.73 too, but Max tow only comes with 4.10.

Scott,
Thanks, I'll look again at the window sticker this weekend. I could be wrong, but I am fairly confident that my previous statement is correct.
