    I have just a quick question: other than the obvious, what is the difference between automatic and manual tractor's? Is one better at hauling than the other, fuel efficiency better, etc? Thanks!

    It's doing good... It has more power going up the mountains than I expected...I am in Oregon now with 382 miles until I get to Sumner,WA and I have averaged 7.1 mpg from Tulsa to here so far

    Haunted... I can't honestly answer that question right now... My truck has only 2027 miles on it and this is the first automatic I have ever driven...but it was great in Denver in the traffic... My left leg loves it.

    That's all right! Well, I hope your experience keeps going good with it! I see more and more newer trucks are equipped with automatic transmissions. I didn't know if it was any better than manual transmissions, as in regular 4wheelers, it doesn't make a huge significant difference.

    From your previous post, 7.1 mpg is not too bad at all!

    Be safe out there!
