For a trailer that size a 4.10 is not mandatory. It will be beneficial for mountains etc. It will not be for daily driving; it keeps the engine spinning at a little higher rpm and uses a bit more fuel.

I pull a trailer at just about the weight you are looking at with a Ram 6.4 gas engine and 3.73. We do great; flats, hills and mountains. Diesel would give us more oomph and a 4.10 makes it a little easier but I've owned both. 4.10 is generally hard to find whereas the 3.73 is kind of a "go to" ratio. I wouldn't worry for a minute if all you can find is the 3.73...btdt.
