Manual or automatic transmission?

[gabe]

I actually prefer automatic- but I have an explanation! I am American, and automatic is just what I group up with. I hardly knew any other way, so when I imagined stucks or saw stucks, it was always automatic. It also kind of fits the profile- someone ditsy enough to get themselves stuck is probably not bright enough to buy a manual

Mate, manual good coz it gives you another pedal to pump and bit more of your own control over the revs and amount of spin. Wot ever, its gettin stuck thats the fun bit and while ditsy peps may get stuck accidentally it takes a bit of brain power to get stuck for a good time spin () and gettin fully bogged.

Manual is the best for me. This is better to control by yourself the power of the engine. I also like to change gear when I am spinning in mud.

Agree with gabe. American and grew up with automatic so 1000% automatic. You can really focus on looking at the tires spinning from the driver's seat, and other things , when you don't have to shift

You can do exactly the same with a manual one if you perfectly know how to use it.

Sure can, driving auto isn't driving.

I had a manual for years, then I got an automatic. I decided I like to have my hands free while I'm stuck. Also, most trucks now have a higher tow rating with automatic.

I have gotten stuck with both auto and stick. Looking back, I enjoyed the auto better myself. Having my hands free, I had more fun doing other things.

Sure thing bud, give me a beat up muddy truck-dont have to worry about dirty boots cakin the pedals and getting a bit dirty inside. Working the gears and the clutch adds to fun of getting bogged.
