I knew the day of the manual transmissions were numbered. Not many on the lot, hard to find option.
Most of the manuals were outsourced. The automatics are built inhouse. Guess that is one way to maximize profits.
I work at a road agency. we have trucks with autos. we have trucks with manuals. The allisons crack cases (about 13,000 to 14,000 hours). Get a heavy snow and at least one will die. They stick in gear, won't shift, etc. Why is that you ask? Get some ice/snow built up on sensor wires and see how long they last. Add some salt and you get electrical component nightmares. Tires also don't last as long with the autos.
On the other hand they do shift quicker when your truck starts falling in a ditch. This will help keep you from falling in.
