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?
  • My previous truck was severely derated by the manufacturer if equipped with a manual transmission. Auto transmissions have come a long way over the years with computer controlled tow/haul modes, 6+ speeds, ability to manually shift, and lock out higher ranges.
    I still like manuals, but I would have to say that they are not going to out perform an auto. IMHO.
