I had reservations initially about the auto for wheeling myself, since I was used to a manual. I had mine built by a shop that apparently knew what they were doing because it has held up well for the last 10 years. It actually makes it easier to go over some obstacles without abusing the truck too much. It even will hold fairly well while going downhill, better than I expected.
It has also hauled numerous, very heavy loads with no issues so far.
The 30% overdrive also makes the truck much more drivable on the road.
It's also easier for us "old folks".
