Have I criticized GM because they would not admit the strength of their 6 speed was not op to the task and gave a LAME excuse of why their DRW could only pull 23,700#? HE!! yea!
And you will not admit that the Aisin is a slow and clunky transmission even though multiple review sites and people in the forums has stated this so what's the difference?
I would rather take a 6-speed Allison over an Aisin. Big whoop that it is only rated to tow up to 23k. Most people here, myself included, will never tow close to that much and would probably rather have a better shifting transmission with better shift points rated to tow up to 23k over a slow and clunky trans rated to tow 30k.
How bout this. Come drive mine at 10k solo and then at 35k double towing. Then tell me what you think.
What trans do you have? Oh yea NOT AN AISIN.
Why? I don't tow that much and neither does 99.9% of the people here so why would I choose a slower and clunkier transmission rated to tow 35k when a quicker, smoother, and better shift logic transmission is rated for well over what I and most people tow.
That is like buying a rough riding and slow Peterbilt 325 to tow a 20k trailer when a smoother, faster, and more comfortable 350/3500 pickup truck will do. I can't speak for you, but I for one don't need anything I have rated to tow some amount that I will never tow to compensate for other deficiencies. I also don't believe that everything is the best at everything with no flaws just because I own it.
