Only have about 10-15 minutes behind the wheel of the H3 but in my opinion, an automatic is nothing but girly. Are the H1 and H2 girly trucks? Not in my opinion but neither are offered in manual. Does that make them girly

I have had both manual and automatic transmissions over the years and by far prefer the auto. It really depends on your personal preference, what you drive and where you drive. The only time I really dislike a manual is in traffic and depending on where you drive, like Orlando, that could be most of the time. Just my opinion and just like assh*les, everyone has one
