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 Diesel and the poor fuel economy of the 6.4.
So I've found a few and one that gets my curiosity is a V10 and 6 speed stick. Driving stick is nothing new to me - owned a few along the way. I've even driven a few trucks with sticks (U-hauls, etc) and don't remember it being much different than a car (other than the 2MPH Low :) ). I love the simplicity of it and for Ford the tow rating is the same.
So, is there any downsides to a stick vs auto? Or would I be crazy to think stick for a tow vehicle?
