Manual Transmission? Yea or Nay?
Still looking for the first truck in preparation for our first RV sometime next year and I've pretty much narrowed it down to an F2/350 with the V10. Not sure I want to roll the dice with a 6.0 Diese...

Rick,
That volume bell curve has a fat part and I'd put you not in the fat part, but
on the more educated end
Ever try 'discussing' the metrics of either to someone in that middle fat part?
They are more worried about how many cup holders there are than the merits
between a manual and automatic.
Most of the one's I've talked to don't know HOW2 drive a manual. Never have.
Learned on an automatic and no inclination to learn HOW2
Or when they ask whether to use the 'Tow/Haul' button or what the heck
is that button for...then they worry that their MPG will go down for
the sake of 'performance' or 'good' towing...
Or whether to flush their ATF or not...
Or how hot can ATF go to and why does it matter how hot ATF gets...
Or what is TC lock up and why is it needed...
You are NOT part of that herd...but you are at the end of that fat
part...so you end up lumped in with them... :)
