The monday is approaching to pick up my new truck and now im skeptical about getting the SO with the 68rfe. For 15k cad more i can get a laramine instead of a bighorn with the HO, aisin, leather and LEDS.
I dont care about the leather, but my gripe is how a 85k CAD msrp truck doesnt come with LEDS.
But reading the horror stories about the 68RFE i am thinking maybe it isnt that bad because no one brags about how good a transmission is unless asked.
I only look to put 35x12.5r20's on the truck no level no tune no nothing. possibly airbags if needed.
My use
payload only 99.9 percent of the time unless i eventually buy a trailer to camp but being single with no kids or dog i dont see me going even remotely close or pass the 17k rating my truck has VIA ram.
Payload will always be roughly 2k pounds and 3.3 maybe once every few months..
What are your thoughts am i sketching out and the 68RFE should be fine or would you take the plunge for the HO. 12k is alot but i mean if ill owe the bank a metric **** ton whats the different of a few hundred a month.
my thoughts are for the amount of 2500's running around it cant be THAT bad as long as i dont do 4wd launches and drive like a douche canoe.
