The tough thing between the stick/auto is engine rating. With a DRW the stick option is 660ft/lb and the Aisin auto will bump you to 850ft/lb. the newer models do not have deletes yet available and tuners are slow to the market so it's not a simple option to gain that power back. I think stick will probably always have a bit better resale value being Ram is the only one with that option. The Aisin has been top notch but is a pricey option, around $2-2500. The 68rfe is a darn good auto as well and is the base option in most trucks. Good luck ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Cumminsforum.com has a lot of good info on the new trucks.

1 more thing to think about when towing a trailer srw and a rear tire failure not so good, with a drw no problem you keep on trucking till you can pull of the interstate.
Yep, when you blow a tire on a dually you buy a new bedside, DAMHIK! Especially the new dually's that have plastic bedsides. I blew a tire on my SRW towing my trailer and there were no issues at all, I was going 65 MPH and pulled over to the shoulder, no damage on my bed, changed the tire, and went on my way. I have probably towed more than anyone on this board, but you don't have to believe me. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tonguue.gif)
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

yeah and you where on the shoulder with other vehicles wizzing by. I will take a DRW every day of the week when pulling.
I have pulled open trailers, enclosed race trailers and my 35' 5th wheel all over the south east and for me its a DRW all the way.

Had a 48' fifth wheel and I did pull it with a 99, 05, and 07 dually's. Also pulled this monster for 200K miles... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)
