I drive a straight truck downtown in traffic, on hills and so on with a stick. When my truck was in the shop for a couple of days I had to drive my bosses auto. Those two days sucked ass. He wants to replace my truck with an auto. I will find a new job. My Tribute and TL are autos but it wasn't exactly by choice.
I want to get a TJ and it will be standard. Back up a trailer using a dump truck. You will learn to use your mirrors real quick. Backing with a trailer isn't hard. It just takes practice. James

I hate to date myself, but I learned on a 3 speed on the column . Now THAT took some practice. I took my drivers test in a 68 BelAir with no power steering,no power brakes and 3 on the tree. Parallel perking was freekin almost impossible.

Little trailers suck balls...People always marvel at truck drivers...But a 53' trailer is way more forgiving than a little 4x8 Trailer.

Its amazing what an extra two feet of length will do when backing a trailer. We have a 10ft and 12ft trailer and Ill take the 12ftr every time.

He said it was helpful in making his shifts smoother. I want a pre-67 bug to teach the girls on. I really don't know a more forgiving manual platform.

I learned how to drive an old Dodge pickup at age 12. 3 on the tree...
Taught my wife how to drive stick on a brand new 2004 Subaru with 5 speed. She picked it up quick and in less than a week she was driving very well.

Tons of torque so they won't kill it all the time, and virtually indestructable if/when they run into stuff. |

Oh, and the bottom of the steering wheel trick doesn't work when you are pulling a hay wagon or similar trailer. (anything with a front axle that turns) |
