Auto or Manual

[piginajeep]

I’m in the market for a new tow rig. I’m really debating on going with a manual. What’s your thoughts ?

They still make manuals? J/K

What rig are you looking at?

Manual will be much stronger and last longer (as a whole). I personally prefer a manual when I’ve towed. My truck has a auto in it now and it’s totally fine but I’ve always preferred the ability to select gears. I know Auto is easier but I was searching high and low across the US for a 06 Dodge 6peed with under 100k and prices were rediculous. Ended up getting an Auto because of availability and price and it’s worked out well so far.

Do it. Every vehicle is better with a man pedal

I tow with a manual.

Just like with a Jeep, an auto is usually fine if not better... HOWEVER, you look and feel much MUCH cooler with a standard transmission.



Seriously, how can you jam out to this in an auto? Though, with the fact I buggered up my knee in racquetball yesterday, I do kinda regret it. Nah... Not really.

Did you look at Dennis Dillion Dodge in Idaho ? They have some great prices.

LOL!! Idaho is where I got my Duramax. Tons of good deals there but you might have some issues getting it registered in CA.

The older I get the more I like auto's. We recently picked up a '17 F250 auto. I personally think it makes the whole hookup/parking/manuevering process a helluva lot easier. My wife will also be hauling with it and while she grew up on a manual herself, its one less thing to have to worry about. It does have a manual selector on the shifter that's really easy and convenient to use if you need to shift manually or want to hold a gear.

I used to agree with this but the newer auto's are pretty damn stout. I've heard of some of the Dodges having auto issues but then I really don't frequent truck/towing forums either. Too bad the Fords & Dodges don't come with that Allison tranny

The new ones are California compliant 😬
