It's funny how you guys have to defend the ram for whatever reason. It's a great pulling pickup. I was close to buying one. Chose GM cause it drives better unloaded. GM has their weaknesses too, a lot were addressed in the new generation but still the RAM does some things better. Such as the air ride, the big screen, etc..
I bought a one year old 1993 RAM/Cummins, then a new 2001.5 and finally a new 2015. For 26 years I just have not realized that I was driving a sub par daily driver, as each one having been better than to one before it.
I usually don't get into these conversations but I am about 6 months into a RAM 3500 with the Aisin. Came from a 2009 Toyota Tundra. I also use the RAM for daily driver and towing. So far about 75% towing and 25% daily driver. I did find the Aisin clunky for daily driving at first. But after nearly 10,000 miles this has gone away and it drives very nice. Sure the Tundra was still smoother but the RAM is still very nice for daily driving and with the Cummins and Aisin tows a much nicer, which is why I bought it.
