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...

I recall a while back "I'm Rick James" reported he could not notice any performance difference between the 68 and the Aisin tranny. It's interesting that the defenders of the 68 opted for the Aisin and I think we all know why!
Good luck...
You know it's kind of funny this Ford lover, Ram hater would jump into yet another Ram thread. I seem to remember THIS Ford thread and no Ram guys jumped in with cheap remarks. Usual hear say from Troy I might add.
Just calling a spade... a spade! The above statement I made is undeniable facts but spin it however you like rick.
Perhaps Rick James can chime in as well since he's one of the few straight shooters here that I've read.
Yes, I've had both the 68RFE and Aisin in a '12 and '14 respectively. Unloaded I cannot tell a difference between the two and when towing my toy hauler the Aisin simply seems to shift faster and firmer than the 68RFE but nothing dramatic. The 5R100 I had in my '08 Ford beats both of the Ram offerings IMO.
