Diappointing Tow Rating Numbers for 2006

Got the new Towing Guide from Trailer Life for 2006. Look at the Ford, Chevy and Dodges number for a Quad Cab (or Crew Cab), DRW 2WD and Turbo Diesels. Dodge is rated at the lowest. Then could not even find ratings for a 6 sp with 4.10 rear end is not even listed in this years literature. So I am not sure what that means. I surely hope they don't drop that combination for the product offering.

Ford is rated 16100 lbs with either 3.73 or 4.10 and either Automatic or Manual transmissions.

Chevy is rated 14900 with manual tranny and 3.73 and 16400 with Automatic and 3.73. I didn't even see a listing with a 4.10 Rear End.

Dodge is rated 15900 with Automatic tranny and 4.10 rear end, and 15850 with manual tranny and 3.73 and with 4.10 is not even listed.

I will probably have to replace my truck in the next couple years, I sure hope either Dodge beefs up their numbers or the Ford PS get better. Sure wished I could get the Ford F-350 truck with a Cummins in it!
Cheers and Happy New Year!!
