Haven't posted in here before, but I'm picking this up tomorrow and I am about to BUST!

42. Thank you for that video.

But I must say, my VERY FIRST question is, why on god's green earth does any truck maker think there's a need for 20 gear shifts? Really? Especially if at some point it takes two hands, meaning both hands are off the steering wheel at the same time.

I learned on a three speed on the steering column in 1964. My first car was a '59 Beetle (convertible which gave me a LOT of street cred in my sons' eyes) which was obviously a 4 speed. My current car, an '04 Honda Civic has 5 speeds. I think. I'm so used to it that I'm sometimes surprised that I'm in a particular gear because I don't recall shifting.

6 I get. 7? Someone needs to explain that to me. Above that strikes me as overkill. Although I suppose with a very heavy load there might be some sensible rationale. But still, 20? Really?
