No they don't. 98% are automatics, this year will be 100%. no manuals on order.
also will be KW-2000 instead of the KW-600. Can't even get a manual for request

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I used to drive a stick 4 wheeler, and when I hurt my knee playing Ultimate, I found that driving was difficult to do with one leg, so I bought an automatic car.

Do any tanker companies use autoshift?
