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

When I bought my 2015 3500 getting anything besides the Aisin was not an option. I wanted the high output engine and 3.73 gears. I wanted a medium duty transmission that I knew should last the life of the truck, which at these prices today will be a long time for me. It was a small (relative to the cost of the truck) price to pay for peace of mind and the features that I wanted. I don't have experience with the other transmission but I tow a lot on grades with heavy loads and it tows (and slows with the EB) wonderfully with the Aisin, HO motor, and 3.73's. I wouldn't change a thing!
Yeah, what he said! ^^^^^ I was after the HO Cummins and the Aisin with 3.73s too. We tow a fairly heavy fifth wheel and our RAM pulls it effortlessly! I can't say enough about how great the EB works either! Love it! After owning the truck for 18 months I'm still "thrilled" to drive it. :B
