    I was referring to the people that complain about the new auto trans on the highway . I don't see an issue .
    For low traction situations the AT gives you an additional option not available with a MT .

    When your dead stuck and all hope is lost stack rocks and CC finds a way ..what' not to love. Run the rear locker then if there is no forward movement CC.
    No shame in using your equipment.

    For stock trucks without compound low transfercases, Automatic all the time. You can stop in precarious positions and be in full control with gas and brake and make proper decisions to inch your way when control really counts.

    Some of us also either can't or don't enjoy shifting gears.

    All those words. Your just steering the vehicle. No shame in it.
    With skill/experience, a MT can be “inched” also. Hahaha. Someone who can drive a MT help me out here.

    Ok . But i was answering your question . It is a extra level of traction . It sounds like you have a manual
    Disposition. I do too but I reserve shifting for bikes and sports cars

    I’m clearly biased.
    It’s great that everyone stays classy and contributes on here.

    I feel like this is flirting with the fine line that is fact and opinion.
    The locker can be added so is CC better than MT. Is there a 100% non opinion based answer?

    Also unless you’re trying to swap trucks I excluded you and your truck already.
    Get out of here.

    It seems like you've already made up your mind. What is the point of this thread? You're just arguing with everyone that manual is bettet than automatic
