2014 Ram 3500 without Aisin Tranny
I can get an incredible deal on a new Ram 3500 SRW, 6.7 Cummins, but it does not have the Aisin tranny. My eventual intentions would be to tow a 16,000 lb. fiver. Would it be worth me ordering a 201...

Most of the guys who say you must have a dually... are basing it off of their experience with older trucks. The new trucks are so much more capable than the old ones. IMO- a new srw one-ton is far more truck than a 2009 or older dually.
For a 16,000# trailer a new one ton srw is more than capable. And I would take the 6k savings. If you had to replace the transmission at 150k miles you would still be money ahead!
I agree about the weight the new SRW can handle, but looking at my 8 year old ratings I have about 800 lbs more GVWR and 2300 lbs more RAWR than THIS Chevy 3500 SRW. I think I'd draw the line at about 3k lbs for pin weight unless you found some higher rated tires.
