My father in law would not buy anything but a manual to tow trailers. Got the six speed instead of the Allison in his GMC diesel. That thing is a beast. Big as a house and ran mid 17s in the quarter for the magazines, high 17s with 2000 pounds in the bed. C'est incroyable!
Was able to hold off on this old truck. More recently saw a Dodge crewcab in the same hue, maybe 5 years newer, rather less old I suppose would be more accurate, left a note, no call. No pic of the Dodge, would have been willing to pay for that rust free gem
