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...

The one reason I went to a dually was safety in a blow out situation. Extra stability is nice but not a concern. I tow 15K toy hauler and researched like crazy. My 05 SRW 3500 pulled the camper no problem but I saw pictures of what happens on a SRW rear tire blow out and while not causing a crash there was major damage. As for the likelihood of a blow out I drive 50K per year and over 15 years I have had 3 newer quality MFG tire go boom so it is a possibility. Of course this is for the OP to decide based on how much and where he will tow.
For us campers the number one benefit of the Aisin is the PTO which with a little redneck engineering should be able to run the blender!
As for the 68RFE my 08 has 223K trouble free miles on it before I sent it to an untimely appointment with co-part. Current truck is 14 3500 with same tranny.
