Between the two I would go with the Ford with that 6.7 diesel heard that one's pretty good.

This is exactly why an AMT would be so much better than traditional TC autos.
Give us a 10 or 13 Speed already !! -
And no, paddle shifters on an AMT are NOT the same. You still have a computer that will veto the input you're trying to give if it doesn't think it's a good idea.
And another thing, while I'm on the topic of computers overriding the driver, is the "push button" ignition and fly-by-wire transmissions. Wasn't all that long ago, people were dying because their car would get stuck WOT and they was nothing they could do. Computer wouldn't let them shift the transmission into neutral to prevent engine damage. Computer wouldn't let them shut the engine off, either, as they were driving down the road at WOT. All of my vehicles have a mechanical linkage, and I can shift them into or out of gear any time I desire. They all also have a keyed ignition that I can turn off at any time, speed, or throttle position. Throttle sticks wide open? Key off, shift to neutral, stop. No computer saying "you can't do that" as it takes me for a ride.

Unfortunately we’ve since entered the era of “lazy” and “stupid”.KB3MMX and Pedigreed Bulldog Thank this. -

M more on my ishift is fully unlocked. It's not fleet lockdown junk.
When u want a gear,i can select it.
When i don't feel like shifting, it goes into auto mode.
Having The Best of both worlds is a very nice setup !
