Aisin trans in the Ram has helped. Im no Ram Guy but I think the new Cummings HO has 420 and 1075. Still behind for sure but it is a 6 cyl. Also no Ford Guy but I think the 6.7 Powerstroke is probably the best engine out now diesel wise.

You would BroDozer....but I only need a half ton and I bought the best one available. I don't vacation in a trailer park. The heaviest thing I tow is my 24' pontoon boat and it doesn't know it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best half ton available is a Tundra. Ram is a distant 4th in the half ton segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perfect heavy duty imo would be a Ford with a Cummins and an Allison transmission. Depends what trans you get on the Ram its 370 850 with 68rfe. The HO has 420 now as you said. You need the Aisin trans for that motor. Trans have always been an issue for Rams as well as leaking axle and pinion seals. Ball joints go bad fast as well. Ive had all 3 brands. By far Ram had the most issues non motor related. Injectors were an issue on few of my earlier Duramax's. I wouldn't own a Ford before 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my vehicles for years no way would I buy either the Ford or chevy time bombs that can't hold a converter. My last truck was a Tundra. Unfortunately, the Tundra was very dated in 19 when I bought...it was the same truck as I had with BNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one I was thinking of. I've had 2 trucks with 3 of those POS transmissions. One was replaced with 2100 miles on it on my 2015.

REEEEALLY i didnt find that online before buying one last month.. so far ive only noticed a hard downshift rolling slowly from time to time. and if i hammer for a few seconds then come off the gas quick, it doesnt continue up shifting fully, just holds that gear.

An Allison trans is far superior than an Aisin imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Problem with a real Allison transmission is they take about 100 hp to run them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
