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...

My chassis cab has the 4.44 gears with the Aisin in Tow/Haul mode and still downshifts to fifth with only 22K lb GCW on some rolling hills when traveling 55-65 mph. Most mountain passes have been crossed in fourth except where I have to slow for other traffic and then I will be in third.
The Aisin does have a low first gear - When I put the truck in 4wd low, it has no trouble idling at a crawl up and down dirt roads when fully loaded without me having to apply throttle or brake.
