There are still plenty of used manual trucks for sale at Truckpages, despite the increase in the numbers of new trucks built with automatic transmissions. There are still plenty of operators who will specify a manual truck for their simplicity and ‘feel’, whilst many export markets prefer a manual gearbox for the same reasons – ease of repair and availability of parts.
