I want to offer a dissenting opinion. Properly set up and cooled, a "slush box" is not necessarily worse than a manual gear box for hauling heavy loads, in fact it may be better, no clutch to slip, the torque converter offers a torque multiplication effect on load startup, less shock loads on the drivetrain, etc. Fire trucks, Greyhound buses, city buses, garbage trucks and large earthmovers have been using automatics for years, and no one can say that is easy service. The lockup clutches in modern automatics reduce the fuel economy penalty. That said, one disadvantage of the automatic is less engine braking, altho the later autos are adaptable to that as well.
