Manual vs Automatic transmission.
Hey all. I'm looking at possibly upgrading my truck to a heavy duty truck. I found what I thought was a pretty good deal on a 2011 Dodge 3500 drw. I'm currently pulling a trailer that is around 650...

When I bought my 03 RAM, I ended up ordering it because I wanted a manual transmission. Back then, the manual was rated to tow more weight than the automatic.
Kept that truck until 2012. Transmission never gave me any troubles.
That said, I prefer the 68RFE in my current truck over that one. It shifts very well, and leaves me free to do important things like text while I drive, and eat/drink going down the road. I could do that with the old truck, but I had to steer with my knee, which got a little old.
I kid (mostly). But I do prefer the auto now.
Don't do that in Washington, we just passed laws on distracted driving. Fines now can be levied for eating, talking (except hands free), smoking, drinking and farding. 10 and 2 and nothing else or it is going to cost.
