Couldn't have said it better myself.  This is why I
bought an auto after years of manuals.  To me the
truck is just another tool, and its the right tool
for my job.  Everybody's job for their truck is
different.  That's why Ford is offering 11,437
different combinations of trucks and options in
their '99 line of HD Trucks.

P.S.  Yes the 11,437 combinations is an
exaggeration.
