AISIN or 68RFE on new Ram 3500
What makes the AISIN six-speed automatic transmission worth $2600 more than the 68RFE?

I have owned both. Towed 28-29K combined with 2011 68RFE traded for 15 with 65K it performed flawlessly. The negative was getting the load rolling on much of a grade. Some of that was to do with the wrong gears.
My Son has a 3500 SRW with Aisin I towed his 14K dump trailer loaded to 18K and combined load about 27K. His truck is 3.42 also, it took off on a grade with no effort compared to my 11. Difference??? the lower first two gears on the Aisin.
My 15 Dually has the Aisin I am 33K combined. If starting on a grade I just push the pedal and go with NO axle wrap like I had with the 11.
If towing in the upper ratings of a 3500 SRW or DRW the Aisin is for sure the way to go!
