On my 2017 3500 SRW SLT Bighorn Long bed, Auto so far seems to tow admirably. While I have not towed far yet so far it has been great. Truck is comfortable, has the power to go and to stop. Compared to my 01 Ram this thing is soooo quiet as well as advanced in many other ways. As they all are now very computer controlled and not much to do about that except drive an older truck but so far with just over 10k on the odo no issues whatsoever (which to be honest I would expect). The integrated brake controller for me anyway has been fine, the exhaust brake is great.
Our 5th is not that heavy GVW of 10k only problem I have had is it doesn't squat the truck enough for it to ride level like it did on my previous truck but the real issue is the clearance at the tailgate (due to the rake of the truck). On my old truck it was right on the fence of needing anything done but it did fine. This one I am having to raise the trailer a couple inches which is at the shop now for the surgery. IIRC the rear outside edge of my tailgate is 59.5 inches high which was only leaving me 4.5 inches of clearance in that spot.
