    2013 DRW dodge diesel high output

    Anyone have any ideas how reliable this truck is with the Aisin transmission?

    Would you rather own the ford or Chevy of the same year.

    Opening of the three major manufacturers you really can't go wrong. Drive all three by what you really like

    I have driven my 2014 almost 40,000 miles. Pulled my Solitude about 20,000 miles. Only problem I have is finding money to buy fuel

    Also if it's got the factory exhaust brake it's the cats meow. Between the tow/haul mode and the exhaust brake I hardly have to press the service brakes. My other pick up was a 2006 Ford F-350 dually and I love rowing with my 2017 Ram.

    Tow/haul mode retard the transmission shift points and also down shift the transmission which aid in down hill decent. Add in the exhaust braking, it makes for a very comfortable tow. In fact, if I set the cruise it will automatically engage the exhaust brake to help hold the speed when going down a hill.

    Wow that's cool. Just like my Volvo. Now it needs to be able to sense the car in front of it and adjust speed accordingly.

    Our 2014 with the Aisin AS69RC has been amazingly reliable. I would highly recommend it.

    The 2013 and 2014 don't have some of the issues with the factory TBC that the 2015+ units have.
