I tow with a 2000 Ford 7.3 with the 6 speed ZF transmission. I LOVE it. I will never own an automatic. The mileage is good, and you can always put the truck in the power band.
You would have to be a retard with my truck to F-up at the ramp. All I have to do with my Cafe (14k or so loaded) at the ramp is put it in low gear and let the clutch out. Pull right up. Never put it in 4WD at the ramp but I damn sure have it....
I think the 6 speed spins quite a few less revs on the highway which is nice....
