Proof that it is garbage.....Kenworth trucks.
They could build a trans that could handle any amount of torque and HP..
I am told that there specialty builders who will and do build manuals.
That said, I drove manuals for 70 years, but my last three pickups had/have automatics....Two Ford F350’s and the present Ramm 3500.
Fords were bad about the clutch going bad and locking the transmission at most inconvenient times and places.
I do think the Ford automatic transmission is smoother and superior to that in the Ram but overall I would never go back to Ford.
Yeah, but it would be twice the size and weight. Not suitable for a pickup.
Question;
How’s your turning radius on your Ram?
I have a 04 Ram 2500 Cummins w/6pd manual, crew cab 4x4 and it has a huge turning radius. Compared that to my ‘13 F350 4x4 Powerstroke and the Ford turns on a dime.
Thats what keeps me from going back to the Ran.
