What do you prefer Manuel or Auto and why? I choose Manuel because I want to feel I'm in control.

Manuel because that's what I've always had. Plus once you upgrade the clutch they are pretty much bullet proof. Plus I'm more in control.

With transmissions being electronic now there's so much control over them if you have the ability to tune it
Auto. Because i never haul anything. But it must be upgraded with quickshift

Auto is all I have ever had in all my Cummins trucks and from pretty much everything I've ever read and heard about neither Transmission is bullet proof they both have had their fair share of problems a lot of it depends on how you drive and treat them

I now own an auto, since my wife has bad knees and if and when she needs to, she can drive it when I'm not around. But for the 40 years prior, I only had manuals. I like the control and I always did my own work on it. With my auto, I do all servicing, until it will need a full trans job, then it will go into the shop. I really like my truck, but she has felt incomplete to me from day one with this auto.
At lease to solve my personal issue, I just bought a Mini with the 6 speed ... and my mental state feels soooooooo much better. A dacade of this odd feeling is now gone.
You need to know what you really want, and what you intend to do with it ... before buying. Then go from there. Mine was limited with my wifes disability. So even if I trade this in for another (fat chance on that) it will be an auto since she needs it every once in a while.
What was/is your real needs ?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States, where men 'were' free." ~ Ronald Regan
My 12' was a manual and I loved it but now I drive an auto and spoiled by it. i live and work in the same town so constantly shifting was a pain sometimes, don't get me wrong manuals are fun to drive but having the auto is more relaxing.

You sure you're not being lazy too?
I like a woman who is universal. It shows independence and self reliance. Elaine can drive a Stick, but it's been 20 years since she last drove one.
No I'm not sick.
Me? I've had sticks and auto's. I like sticks, but my knees don't anymore. I used to install brake locks. Handy when towing heavy in the mountains
