2019 Ram 6.4 drivers

Am looking very hard at a 19 Ram 6.4 gasser. Those currently using one with the new 8 speed, any problems? Love it? Hate it? What are you feeling?
The last of the leftovers are disappearing now, and I am looking at grabbing one for a 10k lb tt now and likely a 12-14k 5er in a year or so.

    Love mine. It’ll certainly do the job. If I was towing frequent or full time, though, I’d only have a diesel.

    That 8 speed has been used for a long time in Chargers and Challengers, including HellCats.
    I have it in my SRT and prformance wise, it rocks. Very nice shifts and intellegent strategy. But just like all newer trans, the maint. is costly. I guess there's no way to get around that though. Same series trans is also used in lots of high end cars including Bently's.

    I would normally have suggested a diesel as well but all of the new ones are such a PIA that I probably wont own another one.
