Default Man I loathe truck payments

So, for towing the Tolman, it is looking like a Nissan Frontier. The
Tacoma is a little more expensive and I have had good luck with
Nissan. Now, I am trying to find one with a crew cab AND long bed,
not sure they exist.


I like manual shift but is there any reason for them anymore? In the
very long run, I still think a manual shift will outlast an automatic
and I can replace a clutch.


Overall, an automatic with a torque converter is much better for towing than
a manual with a clutch and is actually recommended for towing by most truck
manufacturers. This assumes you have a big enough truck for the job.
