If you take two trucks with matching motors, matching rear ends, and matching transmission ratios, the autoshift or fully automatic transmission is supposed to get better mileage of the two. The difference tends to be a bit negligible, however, and the manual shift transmission allows the driver a higher degree of control.

One problem with the older autoshifts (the ones with the clutch) is that the synchroniser in the transmission often goes out due to bad clutch manipulation. This isn't a problem in the newer fully automatic transmissions (such as the Eaton Smart Shift, Meritor automatics, etc).
