^Its not necessarily about dropping rpms, it’s about the right rpms at the right time.
10 speeds behind high revving gassers? I would agree, not necessary and 6 gears does 90% + of what 10 will do.
Comparing 5 vs 8 in our last 2 SRTs, honestly also not needed. Better but old was good.
And also not towing.
Imo 8 is the sweet spot and 10 is starting to get redundant on a gasser.
Diesel, about the same. 6 is ok, if they’re the right ratios, 8 is great, 10 has its place in super heavy towing, otherwise getting towards redundancy.
With most everyone at 8-10 gears. Ridiculously good power output across most all gas and diesel trucks, what is the next “big thing?” I’m running out of ideas to improve these trucks that don’t involve modifying the laws of physics!
