If you are going to be pulling a trailer with it, I would put the 6 speed manual in it. We had one with the auto and it would not live so it got sold. bought a second with a 5 speed that kept loosing 5th gear untill it went out of warranty and I fixed it so the nut would not come loose. And one other with a 6 speed with no problems what so ever. The 5&6 speed now have over 350K and 250K on the odometers with no other problems but that POS automatic no mater what we did it would not make it more than 50K without coming apart and we could no longer afford to risk it when moving cattle so it had to go.
