So I'm guessing the "derated" numbers for the manual are because there is no torque management? Would it be a fair assumption that the effective available hp/tq is the same at the rear wheel between a manual and an auto that has the tq rolled back by the computer?
If you look at the tow ratings based on transmission, It looks like the weakest link is the transmission choice.
When I bought my Ford 10 years ago I wanted the manual until I saw the derated abilities - It was the first automatic I owned. I just bought a Ram and it has the Aisin.
