Haven't looked at GM and Dodge, but Ford is NOT giving away the new F150's... 36K for the FX4 I like...

Have you actually found a V8/manual in dealer inventory somewhere? I searched dealer inventory in SC, NC, GA, and FL when I was shopping, and I think I turned up one

Manuals suck for towing anyway.

Yeah, I know... it's just that men get all that practice when they are sleeping on the couch.

Because usually the weight rating is higher with an automatic

But of course if all you're hauling is bikes, it doesn't matter

my fam has had nothing but manual trans pickups for as long as I can remember, no issues, and we regularly overloaded them

I hate autos, especially in diesels, cause you can't make it hold a gear. Tranny usually shifts right as the motor starts to actually pull. pisses me off.

And Manuals are tougher. at least in older vehicles.
neighbor replaced 4 auto trans in his pickup otherwise identical to ours with the manual, pulling a smaller trailer.
