Very happy with the six speed manual, seems to have a gear for wherever you want to be.
Don't get 4:10's though, 3:73's are just right. you can still get about 20k plus truck moving from a stop without any trouble.

I take it your talking about 6 manual. If I were to get the manual, i would do 373 AND NOT DO gear vendor od cause u cant haul regualar and do that. Im talking about the new 68re

my .02 is with some of the others... towing heavy a lot get the manual. Lots of family time, city traffic or commuting or racing its the auto all the way.
When the aisin is available to all, it will be the best of all worlds. And the 68rfe is NOT the aisin. The aisin is much more heavy duty. Actually, it is the only "medium duty" transmission to be had in the light truck market just like our "Cummins" engine.
