It realy comes down to what do you want? The manual when operated by a real pro. Someone that will be looking for fuel economy and knows how to extend the life of the clutch will lower operating costs. Some one who just wants to haul with good economy and trouble free life. The auto is the best choice. Life of the auto is realy determned by maintenace. Particularly in high stress applications. So if you intend to be or are a good pro buy the manual. If you are just hauling and want to just do that and not worry about the right rpm versus load and grade buy the auto. Good Luck
