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

So you are saying they are now throw away trucks? A Cummins engine can go a million miles. Wonder how many transmissions that will take?
The "million mile engine" myth...sure you can keep most any engine going that long but at 15k miles per year it will take 67yrs to hit 1 million miles.
Yes, most trucks are throw away before year 30 let alone 67. No manufacturer is designing and building based on million mile assumptions.
