The 8 speed is nice but like the 6 speed it likes to hunt for gears. When i towed the popup the truck stayed in 5th most of the time.
What I do like is when in tow mode the truck uses the engine to help break. It will allow you to stay in the gear and use the engine as a brake to help. Problem is when taking off it like to stay in 3rd gear way way to long. Tuner helped me fix that.
Airbags, and bump stop helpers both will work.
Better shocks and struts alone made a huge different on my truck. Normal driving I am at 5 front 5 rear rides better than stock.
Towing I move to 5 front, 10 rear and it is night and day. I test both settings on the same part of the highway. 5/5 the trailer was moving everywhere.
5/10 steady no issues.
The hemis are monsters, and I have yet to have a issue 70,000 on my 2012. and I tow a ton in the summer just keep up with the plugs they need changed every 30,000 miles.
