2016 Ram 3500 opinions.

Most definitely do a DPF/EGR delete and get a good HP tuner; rid yourself of the bogging epa nonsense.

There's emissions intact tuning that's just as good as deleted now. Calibrated Power did mine and it runs like a scalded cat. Haven't had the first problem with the emissions system. Trick is apparently running lean and flowing more Def. Keeps the soot down for the dpf and the def flow keeps the injector clear.

As of today, I would buy another Ram. I am not brand loyal and that could change if I decide to get another truck. The Cummins is the heart of the truck and really makes it as tough as nails.

Always keep your eyes open and avoid brand loyalty.

Until another brand comes with a 6 cylinder Cummins, I'm brand loyal.

Hay Dude, you can get a Aisin transmission in a 3500, single or dual rear wheel but not the 2500. It doesn’t have to be a chassis cab but it does have to be a 1 ton.

My '19 2500 Laramie CTD has been good to me for last 3 yrs. I have the CP4 & still on wait list at dealer for its recall. But it starts n GOES with zero CELs to date. Owned Fords, Chevs, Dodges, Yotas, Jeeps, Nissans and I feel like my Yotas and Chevs were the biggest POSs but that's just me. I looked at everything but for the money ($55k new pre covid) I felt the Ram was the best package.

But its an upgrade/option, right?

They don’t come standard with the Aisin, you are correct, it’s an upgrade.

Daughter and husband bought an 18, had one recall right after another with no parts to repair or replace. Check the recall history of the specific model and the specific engine, before you jump. They just traded it in on a Jeep Cherokee of all things.......

Standard with 3500/4500/5500 cab & chassis dually, but optional on 2500/3500 SRW

Easiest way to tell if it has the aisin tranny is the dipstick location. Aisin tranny will have the dipstick on the drivers side. 68rfe will be on the passenger side.
