Maybe I can help explain this. Heat is the biggist enemy of a transmission more so with an auto. Since an auto is controlled by a computer and has alot more moving parts then a stick. Hauling heavy loads will cause more heat generation in the tranny. Another benifit of a stick when hauling is the ability to choose what gear you want to be in when going down hills. Nothing beats engine braking. As far as a fuel heavy truck for curb shopping. Well this truck wasnt ment to be just a scrapping truck either. My daughter has her own horse at her grandparents ranch. With this truck she can also hook up to the 3 horse trailer and take her horse where ever her heart desires and she dont have to barrow my F350 diesel to do it. That and she wanted a truck. And we all know dadies little girl gets what she wants
