If it ain't on the window sticker, most of the time it's a moot point. That was my point in saying they both "have the same 6-speeds"---'cause that's all the average Joe is concerned about.
"Also, by offering the Aisin (which has the same 6-speeds as the 68RFE"
Technically true but the fact is the AISIN has lower starting gears and easily get's my 35k rolling on steep grades.
If Ram offered the average consumer the choice between an Aisin 6-speed or an off-the-shelf, proven 10-speed tranny for the same price (highly unlikely due to the Aisin's high cost), IMO the 10-speed would still easily outsell the Aisin by a very wide margin. Only a technically savvy person with a particular interest in MTBF under severe conditions might possibly go with the Aisin 6-speed in this scenario.
