Standard vs Auto for towing?

[Blanch]

I tow a 30 ft travel trailer with a Ford F-250 automatic. I would really suggest using an automatic. I have a real love for stick shifts and I have only owned a couple of automatics in my entire life. But, while towing, there is so much going on. Winds can push you across lanes, braking requires using one hand to operate the trailer brakes, you have to deal with blind spots and idiot drivers who cut you off to be ahead of you in traffic. So much to watch out for and deal with. Changing gears would add another thing to manage. It would be very challenging if you had to shift gears and brake the trailer at the same time. Imagine doing that in the wind.
