Default What gear to use.

last week I had my 04 Dodge ram 4x4 Quad Cab Hemi stolen It had the towing package. Now I just put a deposit on an 06 Quad Cab Dakota 4.7. My hemi had a towing gear and the Dokota doesn't have a towing package but it does have a 5 speed automatic. My question is What gear do I tow in? It has 16 in tires on it. My Hemi had 17's
