It will do the Job, But until you delete the 06 will out perform the 2009. 68RFE behavior will baffle any MT driver. Moving form 06 to 09 why the change? Good deal on the 09?
The 68RFE will perform at stock to about 60-80 Additional HP after that its behavior is questionable... If you're just going to pull trailer up to the events I see No reason it will not get the Job done. 7,400 Miles?

Wonder how its gonna like a 44ft enclosed trailer behind it? The more i read im tempted just find a hand shaker again.
I assume for a pulling truck? Be better off just getting a semi trailer and then a tractor that actually meets the RV requirements. You can probably get a tractor and trailer for $25K-$30K if you shop around.Wonder how its gonna like a 44ft enclosed trailer behind it? The more i read im tempted just find a hand shaker again.
Aisin if towing a lot. Trailer weight?
Trailer weighs 8000lbs, everything loaded will be about 17,500
As far as Aisins (AS69RC) taking a beating and holding together well this guys is probably the best example I've seen online so far:
Randy Reyes (owner) of Randy's Transmission:

~70K miles at ~650hp/1,300lb-ft and looked pretty good inside (he said). You guys can (and should) look through his Instagram for videos of him using (beating on) this truck- he did not treat it softly at all:evil. He notes that sometimes shifts do get funky with the added power, but manually shifting it somewhat alleviates that.
Seems like a pretty good testimony for the durability of the Aisin transmission...or maybe it's just luck and he's got rabbits' feet and four leafed clovers coming out the yin yang... Hopefully not the latter.
Note: I don't know if he (Randy) is a member of CompD and in no way do I speak for him or his business in any capacity, I hope it's cool posting about some else's vehicle. I thought it could be interesting and/or useful to you guys:Cheer:.
RevMax bashes the Aisin and says it's a POS. I wonder if they just say that because they are trying to sell more 68RFE parts. No tuning for the Aisin as of now is the biggest drawback.
