The new Ram trucks with the manual transmission are very easy to drive. The clutch pedal takes very little effort to push, the clutch engages very nice, and the transmission shifts very easily.

If you like the manual I say go for it; I highly doubt you will regret it. That truck will also be very easy to sell in the future because the Cummins with the manual is a very desirable truck.
