The auto transmissions from 5, 10 and 20 years ago, I will agree, left a lot to be desired. But some of the newer heavier transmissions put in the new trucks these days are really the cats meow. The 6-speed Allison automatic behind the Chevy Duramax, the new Aisin 6-speed auto that Dodge puts in the new 2007 cab & chassis behind the new 6.7 Cummins comes with a 180,000 mile warranty on the transmission, Dodge is also putting a new 6-speed auto in teh pick-ups that is very simaler in design to the Allison, has the grade braking and manual shift mode that really works great. I think many people are just too set in their ways and affraid to try something new. If you have a auto that is as durable as a manual, can tow just as good or better, can be manually shift at the push of a button, why wouldn't you want it? I think some people just want to pretend like they are truckers or something. I know when I am pulling my 48' stepdeck behind my 1-ton dually with two crew cab dually trucks loaded on it not having to shift is one less thing I have to worry about and I can concentrate more on the other drivers around me and the road conditions instead of when and what gear I need to be in.
