I’m considering ordering a new quad cab. I’ve read that most people seem to be happy with the 3.21 with the Hemi, but I’m leaning toward the Pentastar. Looks like 3.21, 3.55 and 3.92 are the options. Thought?
 
Where do you drive?

Lots of highway, no load, 3.21 ought to be fine.
Lots of stop and go, the lower gears won't really have a lot of effect on mpg, but will give you better acceleration.
Carry a load, go low.
 
Speaking from prior experience with 2 wheel drive quad cabs. The 3.21 is too tall a gear for the v6. It shifts gears A LOT, and needs to downshift for ANY acceleration or going up hills. The 3.55 is better. I’ve had both in previous Rams. Got slightly better mpg with the 3.55.
