    Manual 100%
    Fun
    Faster (if you care)
    Better gear ratios
    Better resale
    Manual 4wd is a blast

    The key word is Manual..repetitive. May need knee replacement along with the clutch. Sure, it can offer more control and maybe even be fun to drive but I can find no fault with my '19

    Oh, and by the way there snowflake, people stopped buying them because they are inconvenient and are harder to learn how to use therefore requiring more time and effort, etc.

    Also, who the fuck is bragging? It’s a statement of fact about how things were. Sorry to put a dent in your fantasy that these things are somehow special. It’s just an outdated mechanical system that some still find useful or enjoyable but most don't. Nothing more, nothing less.

    oh, and MT’s started losing favor long before texting was a thing so...

    Sorry I hurt your feelings bro.
    Here’s a virtual cookie to make amends:

    It's a light clutch pedal and not a leg press, shouldn't wear out your knee.

    if you even think you might want a manual, then wait. Do not let a little time determine what truck you will get, if it is possible to wait. Oh and the dealership just wants your money, and will try to get you to buy the first possible truck they can sell you.

    Nah, just calling out a FUDD where I can.
    Now I see who is triggered. Not only FUDD, but also failed at trolling. You should have stopped with that Travolta pic, if you know what I mean.

    PS. Does he really think I don't understand what manuals are?

    If you're looking to beef up those tires get the manual. The 4.3 axle ratio will do wonders.

    No, actually it’s nothing like that at all.

    Banging is something you do for a short while when you feel like it. Driving is something you usually have to do, and often whether you feel like it or not.

    Big difference... just saying.

    It's one of the easier vehicles I have owned, my car is cable actuated and probably requires 3 times the force as my truck.

    you ever been with a nympho? There is in fact “too much of a good thing”.

    fun- subjective
    Faster- not accurate. 1/4 mile, auto is faster.
    Better resale- less people looking to buy it vs and auto.
    Auto 4wd is a blast to drive AND more capable off road.

    Yeah, it is easy to apply gun owners terminology to the likes of you. Drop those pics, you are failing at both trolling and memeing. You are not only failing at fudding.

    I will stop wasting my time with you, but feel free to post something else equally irrelevant to have the last word. Have a good day.
