6.7L Cummins VS 6.7L Cummins HO

For those of you that have towed with both the High Output Cummins and the regular Cummins was the HO worth the extra $2800?
  • The Aisin might be better but I regularly tow 15 K in the mountains with my 68 RFE and I give it hail! I fear nothing about this transmission!

    Yep, kind of the way I feel about it.

  • All you have to do is hope yours gets fixed before it fails. :) That was one of the reasons I didn't look at anything newer than a 2018 when I bought.

    Well Ram decided to go back to the CP3, and issued a recall on all 2019 and 2020 Rams with the CP4 to replace with the CP3.

    The HO engine has a little lower compression ratio, so, the regular output will be a little better on fuel when not towing. How often will you be towing and how much weight?

    Yes, as a bonus you get the Aisin HD transmission.
