Re: [RC] automatic vs. stick - sreidI have an automatic ford diesel, 1999. I drove it 28 hours this weekend there and back... could'nt have held up with a stick. I like my stick on my VW..... BTW the truck has 135K on it already....

More people can drive the truck (though we don't trust people to pull a trailer, at least we can let folks do stuff with the truck). We got a Ford F-350 and I have to admit it's nice to have it downshift automatically. It makes driving easier for me and gives me one less thing to think about.

We currently have two right now and both are stick shifts. I approached the idea of an automatic for the new one to my husband and he had lots of reasons why NOT to get an automatic. So now that I have his opinion, I'd like others. What do you prefer and why? I'm looking to get a 3/4 ton Dodge diesel, if that matters.
