Tow Ratings For 3rd Gen

Thinking about trading up for an '05 3500 drw. Don't want to talk to a salesman yet....I'm looking at the auto trans. What is the tow rating with the 3:73's and 4:10's? The 6 spds are hard to find, would like to think I could swing a deal

on one that has been sitting on their lot for a while. Its loaded with an auto & 3:73's lsd. Any other thoughts? My trailer weight is only around 9k, but want some wiggle room if I move up in a few years

Just curious, thanks in advance.
