if you're dealing with a heavy duty truck, (3/4 or 1 ton) you can still pull nearly as much as an auto if not the same. It's just the 1/2 tons that they put the stupid little mini clutches in.
Of course it is a moot point now with everyone doing away with manual trannies. Can't blame them though they make a ton of money on tranny rebuilds on trucks. Think about it, I bet you know at least two people who have had to rebuild or replace a tranny in a newer less then 75000 mi truck. At the tune of 3-6 grand that's not bad returning money.
