But, if I were picking a new HD truck with a gas engine I think the RAM 6.4 would be the one to get. Particularly since you can get that engine with the Aisin transmission which adds PTO capability along with MD toughness.
I respectfully disagree with this statement. According to the 2016 RAM 2500/3500 brochure "The 5.7 HEMI V8 and the 6.4 liter HEMI V8 are mated to the long-proven 66RFE 6-speed automatic ". I don't believe that the AISIN trans is available with the gas engines in the 2500/3500 trucks but that combo may be available on the 4500/5500 gas engined trucks.
I believe that the OP is referring to test driving the 3500 series dually.
