You might want to keep a sweater or hoodie in your truck next time. My Ranger rides rough but it's slightly better after adding a couple of bags of sand in the back and you'll get better using a manual on hills. Mine is a 5 speed so I know what it's like. Not much fun if someone is right on your tail and you're going up hill from a stop. And of course I can hear you over your truck. Your voice comes through perfectly.
