If looking for a Ram 2500 get the soon to be released 8 speed transmission. It will be a fairly substantial improvement all around. Mileage, acceleration, especially towing with excellent gear spacing, durability. I transport TTs for the Mfgs. 535,000 miles on the 8 speed transmission only fluid and filter changes.
