RAM HD -- All 1000 lbs-ft in 1st gear?
Yep. Jim Morrison confirms is here at around 11:40 in THIS VIDEO. I know there was some debate as to whether or not this was true. The guy in charge says it is!

I wonder if DCT will make it into the pickup lines and be any better than we currently have. I know Mitsubishi has wet dual clutches in some of its Fuso line, but I don't hear much about this type of transmission except in lighter automobiles. Is it due to lack of torque multiplication?
The torque converter has been around for while now and seems to work well if you can manage the heat produced. I have not seen an automatic transmission that mechanically locks first gear, but see no technical reason why it couldn't be done.
