I have a mack with the mdrive auto and its sweet. Skips gears when empty. Shift smooth and better than any driver ever could


Want to bet on that?? ( I do have a million plus miles of commercial driving under my belt, for whatever that's worth!) Plus whatever miles I have driving our own trucks.But I'm willing to put my shifting up against any autoshift or ultrashift I've ever driven. I can see where there is a place for them in some operations, but I don't have any need or desire for them at the moment.

But my son and I are the only ones in the seats of our trucks. Makes a difference, no doubt.


Then there must have been something wrong with the autoshifts you have driven because a good one will outshift any human. There are times I don't care for them either but they are smooth shifting overall.
