I will pick and choose modern vs old basic. I never should a bought the Ford 8240 SLE, with all the electronics. It is probably good for the first 10 years/ 4,000 hours then traded off. They cost way too much to fix. I got some modern stuff on my pick up like auto trans and elec windows and AC but thats about it. On my dump truck I couldn't see automatic. You loose in HP, fuel economy, and control. but maybe auto is better with a hired driver. with a standard you can set cruise and its not always shifting down and winding way up like an auto does. You just have to watch the tach and keep it from lugging. Many larger trucks will have manual drivers window but electric passenger side so that you can put that one down when you need to. It can be a safety issue. In general the more bells and whistles the more problems, unless you are the sort of person that feels duty bound to support the economy by replacing everything every two-three years.
