Default QUESTION: Axle Ratio... 3.73 or 4.10? What should i get...

HI EVERYBODY
i'm getting ready to order (today) a new Dodge RAM 2500 Cummins... thinking that i need to Tow on a monthly basis a Trailer that wieghs about 7k pounds, even 7500pounds, and that i live in North Carolina and i will have to go also for a trip to Canada Pulling that big trailer going thru hills and mountains... should iorder the Truck with the standardGear Axle of 3.73 or should i ask to have the 4.10?
It doesn't cost basically anything to have it, but i would like to have an additional opinion wheather i should get it or not... and how much difference will it make when i'm not pulling the trailer on a normal drive?
THANK'S FOR ANY INFO

i get the 4.10 it'll pull like a beast. also, if you ever put on a little bigger tires it'll raise the gear to a little taller number, 3.9 - 3.8 - 3.7
