Actually tbe detailed manual on my 2016 says change tranny oil at 30,000 if you do a lot of towing and 60,000 for normal use. Your change is right in line with recommendations.
I also like cruise control on level ground on slightly rolling ground but definitely not in hilly areas.
Maybe I was just lucky getting a tranny tech that knows both transmissions and towing.

I just dropped the tranny pan and changed fluid at 53,000 miles... per ZF tranny service manual that calls for fluid change at 60,000 miles and NOT following RAM manual saying LIFETIME oil... everyone should know LIFETIME tranny fluid is BS...


How’d the fluid look?

fluid looked good... I probably had 20,000 miles towing between the TT and my boat with 53,000 total miles

I refer you to this thread post #6
