I'm hoping this drivetrain makes it way into at least the F250, it would be a stellar combo imo.
I agree. What are they waiting for?
Probably strength and durability.
Even with fixed input (engine) power, the more mass is behind a transmission, the sturdier it has to be. This is also the reason Ram still doesn't have the 8 speed ZF behind the 6.4 Hemi on HD trucks. Also an excellent transmission btw.
Agreed. The 8-speed in our Durango is always in the right gear and is smooth as butter and doesn't exhibit shift busyness. It just does it's thing.
I do imagine at some point RAM beefing up their 8-speeds for heavy duty applications or turning to Aisin when the time comes.
Ram doesn't produce the 8 speed transmission. It's been outsourced to ZF.
