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...

I had a 2010 Ram 3500 CC/LB/DRW 4X4 with the 68RFE..it had a GVWR of 12,200#, the 2012 that I had for about 6 months was also a 3500 CC/LB/DRW/4X4 HO Cummins with 68RFE, GVW was 12,300# and a GCWR of 25,000#. I towed my 5er, with a GVW of 16,950# and loaded anywhere from 15,985# to 16,200# with both of these trucks all through the mountains of NC, TN, VA and WV...the 68RFE never gave me the first problem, never an issue. It's a good tranny; add the EB and T/H to the equation and you got a towing aninmal . All three of my trucks had/has the 4:10 gearing so that may make some difference. Believe the Ram SRW is only offered with the 4:42, but again, if 16,000# or under, don't see an issue with the 3500 SRW truck towing the OP's 5er.
