Everything I've read. The Aisin is great when pulling, even with the gear disadvantage. But drives like a semi when empty. Super slow 0-60. That kept me out of the RAM as I only pull heavy 4-5 times a year. They need to find a tranny that does great pulling and around town as a lot more heavy duty pickups are daily driven than ever before.
Gee, in 4.5 years I have not found that to be true with my Aisin equip'd truck. One has to remember it is a 8,000+ truck(385/865 in my case) with torque management and not going to drive like a jackrabbit. For throttle floppers they will find the "dead pedal" issue, for those that learn to roll into the throttle they drive just fine.
