The 3500 SRW is available with 3.42's, 3.73's and 4.10's and either the 68RFE or Aisin transmissions. In addition with the Aisin you get the HO CTD now 400 hp and 1,000# torque.

Also, I CAN compare my 2nd Gen to a 4th Gen, a whole lot better TV, I could have just bought a 2nd Gen DRW, but what I had was that with SRW's.

What worries me is the number of those towing heavy with a 250/2500 or even a 350/3500 SRW that only have a GVWR of 11,500# have NEVER been to a scale!
Ram as of 2018 was the only 350/3500 SRW with a 12,300# GVWR.
A 4th generation 3500 with the 68RFE is only available with the 3:42, exact same powertrain as the 2500. Apples to Apples. The Aisin is another ballgame. It takes a 5th generation to get the 400HP, 1000 lb.ft of torque.
