In the past five or six years I have picked up almost all our vehicles from dealers ranging from 300 to 450 miles away.
Once back home and unloaded from the trailer they first go on the lift for a thorough check, then the break-in can begin.
Now if the dealer was only 50 miles away, I might...
And your point is??
I not only lowered a Jeep, but also sectioned it four inches. It was a very fun ride after having ditched the 4-banger and installed a healthy 400 c.i. smallblock.
Fun, but so sketchy with its 82-inch wheelbase that even I was a bit afraid to drive it.
Yeah, but smooth doesn't really equate to durable when it comes to transmissions.
It's been a long time since I didn't tow something with my Aisin equipped 3500 so I really don't remember what it felt like without a trailer ( at only 9,350 lbs.), but I don't recall it shifting badly.
Actually...
Many seem to think that it feels and shifts like a pickup transmission...when going to the bank and the ice cream parlor.
They want a 3/4 or 1-ton to ride like a Cadillac even when empty, and "shift" like a CVT, too.
You'll be able to use 6th gear without having to go 120 mph, and it'll vibrate you a lot less when going slowly through towns and such since it won't be lugging the engine.
You'll like it.
