Going to get a f-150 what's better for manual transmission 6 speed or 4 speed and why?????

A 6 speed manual would give better control over the power delivery and better mpgs than a 4 speed auto. But if it is a newer 5 or 6 speed auto, they are highly intuitive and so much better than in the old days that any benefits or drawbacks between the two are negligible.

The last that I saw was he is looking at a 87 F150.

He has asked a ton of questions in 2 threads about engine/transmissions combos.

But I think it is really going to come down to what is available in his area.

Decent trucks of that age are likely to be slim pickins, unless he is willing to travel quite a ways.
