Switch-n-Go......the movie
Requests have come up for we S-N-G owners to show the unit in action. Here is a video made today. Sorry about the "watermark" across the video. I used a free download to convert my video file on my Mac. I'll do a retake when I have another chance.
In the mean time hopefully you can view through it:

Thanks for the video and in the market for the same type frr as well as trying to work in the s-n-g roll off.
What are your "real world" fuel economy #s, loaded and unloaded? Just can't decide on going auto or stick yet.

The stick vs auto may be best answered by the number of drivers the truck will see.

Solo op...it's the convenience of the auto or the driveability of the manual with hauling/towing larger loads. I've used both and both have advantages over the other in certain situations. It's not a big deal breaker one way or the other if I can find a good deal on one, where I can afford more importantly, to augment the advantages of S-n-G system.
