Tow Vehicle for Montana 3810MS
Hey all, We just purchased a Montana 3810MS and I'm trying to make sure I've got enough truck to pull this thing. Anyone that can give me some advice, I appreciate it. Tow Vehicle: 2018 Ram 250...

AISIN is a true MD trans used in many MD applications. It is a superior trans to the 68. I have owned and towed VERY heavy with both. AISIN is superior plain and simple.
Nothing I have read makes it that superior other then the price, yes it gets a heavy load moving better in the the first two gears, and after that pretty much the same. I don't tow nearly as heavy as you do ,and the 68 does just fine
Nothing wrong with the 68 as I have mentioned. I had one for 65k towing over 1/2 it's miles at 28-29k combined with the wrong 3.42's. The AISIN allows for towing heavier and does a better job of it. There is a reason the AISIN trans allows for higher SAE towing numbers.
Just want to clear up the superior part. I can see the need with frequent HEAVY towing, but other then that , nothing superior. Yes the 68 gets it done quite nicely with the weight, and amount of towing I do.
For the average guy towing lighter loads, the Aisin, and even the air ride, money that could be spent in a lot better places.
