AISIN is a true MD trans used in many MD applications. It is a superior trans to the 68. I have owned and towed VERY heavy with both. AISIN is superior plain and simple.
Nothing I have read makes it that superior other then the price, yes it gets a heavy load moving better in the the first two gears, and after that pretty much the same. I don't tow nearly as heavy as you do ,and the 68 does just fine
Nothing wrong with the 68 as I have mentioned. I had one for 65k towing over 1/2 it's miles at 28-29k combined with the wrong 3.42's. The AISIN allows for towing heavier and does a better job of it. There is a reason the AISIN trans allows for higher SAE towing numbers.

Truck will "pull it just fine" but with a 20-25% pin that a 5er can easily have I HIGHLY suggest the 3500 LONG BED SRW with AISIN!!! Don't forget the towing package with the pucks and then since you will have the best truck for the job buy the best hitch a B&W. You WILL be more than happy with both.
If you really want the icing add the Factory Rear Air Ride.
The new truck as the 5th wheel prep package/puck's, and the rear air ride
EXCELLENT! BUT does it have the AISIN??? Well worth the $$$. You may want to continue shopping. Nothing wrong with the 68REF but when you are at that level why not get the best possible.
Thats your opinion not fact.
