My truck has been reliable, and it is "handy" for short trips and lighter towing. It was the right choice for me when I bought it. If towing at elevation, and/or heavy, it struggles pretty badly. As pointed out previously, the gear spacing, and the programming of the 66RFE leaves much to be desired. I personally find it extremely aggravating when towing. My $0.02.
Interesting. I find it the opposite. I dont like the gear spacing but with tow/haul on it always seems to be in the right gear to me and the engine braking works well also. I have towed heavy years ago with trucks that didn't have tow haul so this ram in comparison is wonderful with tow/haul on when I'm towing. Just my .02
