Is the Aisin transmission worth it?
I got the new truck bug, and the Aisin transmission trucks are a fairly rare find in my area, especially loaded out ones. My current truck is a 2012 Ram with the 68RFE, so I believe it's rated at 610...

Interesting you bring the 5R110 into this discussion. I went from this 5-speed TorqueShift to the 6-speed Aisin. I would say they are almost on par with each other but the Aisin has the advantage of the extra gear ratio. If I had chosen a setup with the 68RFE after owning the TorqueShift, I might have been disappointed. I'm still adjusting to the difference of how power is delivered in my I6 Cummins verses my previous V8 Powerstroke more than the difference in transmission operation.
As I have posted before, the TorqueShift 6R140, Allison 1000 and Aisin AS69RC are all good transmissions with top ratings and you would not go wrong choosing any of these. People that tow less weight or tow less often may not see or need the difference of these top transmissions.
