Manual vs Automatic transmission in TV
Would it be beneficial to have a manual transmission in the TV to help with getting the trailer up steep mountains?

OP, how old a truck are you looking at or is it new? It was not 30 years ago, it was 12 to 15 years ago that a manual was better than a automatic. My 02 F350 with the 6 spd manual tranny came stock at 275 HP while the auto was 255 HP. With a low hole gear getting moving is not hard on the clutch unlike the previous 5 spd without a low hole gear.
Yes, shortly after that is when Allison took over the auto tranny market. With their locking torque converter in higher gears their efficiency rivals that of a manual tranny. With the tow/haul mode they have pretty much idiot proofed pulling a trailer. I did not say towing as some still have problems stopping.
