Default No Anti-Spin option?

So I love the new Ram; its hot. I built a Laramie on the site but could not find the Anti-Spin option; its not listed the the standard features, either. The only models that I could find it listed is on the R/T and TRX4 as standard.

Up here in the NE a truck is useless if it does not have a locking rearend. The Chevy dealers pretty much order it as standard issue for the lots. I can not beleive that Dodge would do away with it. I don't care what Toyota says about how good their Electronic Limited Slip is, IMO it is not as good as a mechanical locking rear end. What good is a HEMI if you can not bake both tires for 30 ft?

I found it. You have to get the 3.93 rear axle. That kinda sucks, but it is worth it as having Anti-Spin in the snow is worth every cent.

I agree. If I was interested in a Crew Cab, I wouldn't want the 3.93 gears. I'd want something for a little better fuel economy. But, I'd still want the Anti-spin diff.

24?? Going down a hill the whole way?
Anyways, most guys have claimed better gas mileage with numerically higher gears for some reason or another. I have 3:92's as well, but even with MDS at 65mph I have only seen as good as 19.5mpg on flatland. With MDS off, 17.5mpgs and those were averaged over 50miles for each one.
