8 Speed Auto for HD trucks
Apparently, ZF is making an 8 Speed HD trans that can handle 1000 lb-ft. 2020 release date. I see it as the next trans in the Ram 2500 and 3500s. LINK

I think the advantage here will be because of the deep first gear of the ZF's and the 3.42 gearing your stuck with in the RAM. Hopefully that low gear will improve the SRW 3500 off-the-line performance and bring it up to that of the current trans with 4.10's.
