Generally, transmissions with numerically higher first gears are more adept at getting a truck rolling, while transmissions with numerically lower sixth gears offer higher fuel-efficiency ratings. If you want to get down to brass tacks, the Aisin is heavier but more economical based on the numbers, and also delivers more pulling power to get the truck moving. The size of a torque converter can impact fuel economy, however, larger torque converters are more durable and provide smoother gear shifts. Both offer a 12.2-inch torque converter, so they’re evenly matched in that regard.
