Why didn't they make a v8 Manual?

That's all well and good if you're doing a lot of stop-starting. Otherwise the standard clutch driven shift linkage box is the best bet.
The majority of those are automated manuals with a computer controlled clutch.
The few slushbox equipped heavy truck are generally rubbish trucks, concrete agitators, watercarts and six wheel tippers that do a lot of inner city shit.

You know in just about every other country, pickups are 99% manual and people go out and tow with them all the time. An automatic Trans in a ute/pickup is considered stupid and faggy

Redpill me on the Allison guys.

Because most semi tractors spend much of their operating time at highway speeds and because they require the operator to have a specialized license to drive. They also don't spend a lot of time driving on dirt roads either.

It doesn't matter, though. More and more semi tractors are becoming available with automatic transmissions in recent years.

maybe you better mosey on back to /pol/, friendo

Yeah, well every other country has never been to the moon.

And those "automatic transmissions" you speak of are nothing more than automated manuals that have nothing to do with the slushbox in your pickup.

Because you are using a truck for truck things? Why would you buy one for anything else
