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

One big difference I've noticed is my 2015 with the AISIN tends to hunt gears a whole lot, much more than the 68RFE I had previously. You pretty much have to manually select gears when towing. On the plus side, shifts are noticeably more firm and it just feels more solid all around. I haven't got the mileage or use to determine actual durability in any way yet. First and second forward gears are nice and low but, it's a little tall in reverse which can make the tight spots where you're backing uphill kind of tough. Keep in mind my truck is SRW so it's geared a fair bit taller than the DRW versions.
