I like the CVT in my ATV, but drove a little Nissan rental car with it and hated it. What a *************.

i've heard the 3.21 gear hunts a bit. never had an issue with mine even while towing but have 3.92
Mine doesn't either. Pulls my 22ft Baja quite nicely.My 3.21 doesn't hunt for gears at all. The 8 speed is nice for going down hills too , it holds and down shifts gears great.
Yeah what tow/haul does is it holds the gears longer and doesn't really let it into the overdrive gear (8th) unless of course it's flat and your load isn't too heavy). You'll also feel that it's easier to accelerate compared to when it's off. You need some good weight behind you to notice it working though. I did with 4000 lbs behind me. I also like to use tow haul when I do my 0-60 ' s because like I mentioned it holds the gears longer and gets you there a tad quicker lol.8000k on mine, no complaints tows great, honestly I don't think the tow/haul mode makes a difference though. hope they offer the 8spd from the hellcat behind the 6.4 in the heavy duty trucks.
?Chryslers new 9 speed is a POS! We have one in my wifes new Cherokee. We bought it new and had it in the dealer 3 times by 4,000 miles for transmission shift issues. This transmission needs to be recalled. Hopefully you guys have better luck with the 8 speed. Also, a Chrysler engineer told me that the tranmission will only go into 9th gear at speeds 115 mph and over? What a crock of ****! I love my Ram but doubt I would buy another Chrysler built product again. They do not stand behind what they build and will not admit to mistakes like the 9 speed ZF transmission. OK, I am done with my rant. Oh, BTW, CVT transmissions are a joke too. Wife had one in a 2013 Altima coupe. Why cant she seem to pick any nice, good-working vehicles??? lol
