Re: Questions from a potential buyer..
I wonder why a manual trany for the use you described.
The auto runs at 2500-2700 RPM at 70-75 MPH which is near the sweet spot on the torque curve.
On a manual trany, cruise control would just lug down from 80 MPH to a lower speed and drop out, wouldn't it? Auto tranys do rev up excessively when they downshift (trying to get back to 80 MPH) and that is why CC should not be used in mountains.
Space is at a premium on the H3 as it is 11" shorter than the Taurus that we had before.
Best regards, Happy Jack
