Have you towed the trailer in your signature with it yet?

Had between 42k and 43k on my 2013 before she was wrecked (specs are in my signature below). Loved the 8-speed. Next truck, once insurance pans out, will be a 2013 or 2014 with the 8-speed.

24000 and change on mine and no issues. I've had my quad in the bed and I also towed my 6x10 enclosed with my atv in it a few times. Hope it stands up....

No issues other than having to come to a complete stop for it to go down to 1st, but that is probably normal. Towed 6k lb travel trailer and hauled full bed on several long trips. Love it. 7k miles. Wish I had 3.92's though.

I got the 8 speed with the v6 and 3.55's 16k miles, bumps when stopping every time, i thought it was just normal but the trans shifts like butter i love it. I even tow a 10 ft trailer frequently and occasionally a 3,000 lb 21 foot boat

such a rarity to hear good things about an automatic transmission...its usually the weak link and most complained about element of a vehicle..and especially a chrysler vehicle.
ive only got 400 miles on my 2016 hemi CC but i can say the tranny has impressed me so far.

My truck has been great! I now have 15k and I must say, one of the best trucks I have ever owned and I've owned a few. The 8 speed with the 3.92 rear makes it plenty fast, one reason I bought it. I also have the slight bump when downshifting into first but, only on occasion.
Just under 13K (in less than 6 months!) and no problems. This is the first automatic I've owned after 30+ years of diehard manual shifting, and it's the first one I've driven that I actually like. My only complaint is that the ERS won't hold a high gear - with all the torque of the Hemi there's no reason for it to be dropping 1 or 2 gears on a moderate highway incline with nothing in tow, and I wish I could make it hold 8th.

500 miles and not one single issue to date. While it sits in the garage I do not expect any issues either!

I have 5500 miles on my 15 Ram Crew Cab 5.7 hemi, 2 months old. No issues so far. 20+ mpg on the hiway and around 14 to 15 in town. The transmission is one of the smoothest shifting transmissions I have had since owning a car, 45 years. I find reasons to drive my truck.
