All opinion (AKA personal choice) and know I'm in the vast minority when it comes
to an auto vs manual...
Am almost 70 and still prefer a manual for my TRUCKS. Especially off roaders
As for my 'car', sure thing...prefer an automatic
The biggest/best invention for an automatic is the TC lock up...okay toss in
external ATF cooler to that
Soooooo many of the bells and whistles are fads...some do make it into standard
accepted stuff for TRUCKs
When ordering my Suburban back in 95...all the sales folks were pitching some
of the latest...how many cup holders vs the others was the biggest...with the
"oh my gosh...no 4x4 shifter on the floor"... :R
When my 1980 Silverado dad gave me goes...would consider one of these,
but then for that kind of money...I could cruise the Calif Central Valley
looking for a 1950's pickup and rebuild it from the ground up to my liking
No smog anything, no smog checks, etc. Keep it simple but with
a turbo and updated junk yard suspension/etc...but the pickup won't
be used to tow anything other than a utility trailer and haul stuff
AND still have tons of $$$ left over for other hobby stuff...like looking
for a used Henry Big Boy 44mag right now...about wet my pants every
time see a picture of one :B
