i prefer a manual, but there is one exception, snowplowing. theres enough to deal with when plowing snow, esp in close quarters and id much rather have the slushbox for that job. anything else though id rather have my manual trans. epa and consumer demand have made the manual pretty much extinct. what i wonder thoug is on the window sticker of the truck, do they still list the automatic as a $1500 (or whatever $) option- when it only comes with a automatic? i also dislaike how ford went away from the twin I beam / twin traction beam front end in favor of the A-arm/torsion bar setup commonly used by gm. i know the t.i.b./t.t.b. had its own set of issues, but i did prefer them and still think its a better more durable design. add in $200+ unit bearings for the front instead of the $30 set of tapered roller that you COULD service, and its apparrent that the new stuff is just meant to be thrown away, will a new truck of today still be around 40+ years from now like the 40 year old stuff is now thats still running? maybe...maybe not. my personal truck is a '93 ranger, 5 speed manual of course, nearly 200,000 miles, and i plan on keeping it on the road as long as possible.
