This was my first Dodge. I towed a u-haul trailer with a mustang back from Las Vegas and decided I NEEDED a manual transmission. Never towed the WW behind it (in the picture). That 4 speed auto sucked. Really high stall speed and wouldn't stay locked if I got on it hard in 4th. I hated it. The truck was great though. Did the same 4900 mile trip but no trailer and averaged 22 mpg. if it had had the 6 speed I'd still be driving it.
