So if you haven't heard prime is now ordering only automatics this was just hearsay to me at first but I asked the leasing office while at the yard the past few days and they confirmed it so within about 5 years prime will be an all automatic company !!!!
Automatics what's your thoughts?

Lot of companies switching to auto. Im surprise prime wasn't the first one with their 58mph truck
KB3MMX and lots of character Thank this. -
With all those Gizmos and gadgetry for monitoring fuel consumption and all other aspects of the truck.. I cannot imagine why a company wouldn't want to go this route..
My manual bias aside, I really think its awesome where they have come. However there is just too much electronic stuff on it for me personally. Take all that fuel monitoring and engine control mess off and give me just the paddle shift and creep mode.. that's an autoshift id enjoy driving.
Does anyone know off hand what autoshift Prime is going to be using?
Will it be neutered to just drive and reverse or will they allow the manual shift feature?Last edited: Oct 21, 2015
KB3MMX Thanks this. -
If they want autos why would they allow manual mode? I personally prefer my shifting instincts and ability.

I don't understand all these wild-eyed, foaming at the mouth truck outfits that worship at the Altar of Fuel Economy. Trip over dollars to save a penny here or there. If that's the No. 1 priority, why not design a truck that will go down the road with the motor turned off? Save lots of money on fuel.
TruckerNerd and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
KLLM just ordered all automatics "for better fuel economy". All the big guys are headed that way it looks like
lots of character Thanks this.
