If my truck was one of those girly, show only trucks I could see a manual again but for a truck that gets used the way the general intended it to, auto is the only way to go.
One more thing...
try plowing snow with a manual transmission.

Well,we all have our opinions. To each their own. But,you have to watch being too assumptive. I don't have to go to the land of 10,000 lakes to find a boat ramp. Maryland has the Chesapeake Bay,Atlantic Ocean,Assawoman Sound,Potomac,Patuxent,Patapsco,Youhiogheny,Miles,Chester,Severn,Magothy,Susquehana,and other Rivers,Deep Creek Lake,as well as numerous lakes and rivers in PA,DE,VA,and WVA a short drive away. We have boat ramps and I've unloaded plenty of boats and,personally,have never had any trouble using a clutch.
We also have rush hour traffic backups. Again,no problem here. I guess my legs are in shape because working a clutch never phases my leg and I don't consider it stiff.
I use my trucks for work. Is that what you meant by "how the general intended"? Do these trucks look like girly show trucks? Notice the plow mounts. Their not for show,either:
