> That might be true of pickup trucks, but commercial trucks are virtually all manual.

I don't have much experience with the big trucks, but my understanding is that most fleets are leaning towards automatic these days because it's easier to get drivers, they can enforce shifting policies for fuel economy, and there's less a bad/aggressive driver can screw up. I'd totally believe owner ops still stick with three pedals for the most part though.

In the medium size truck world it's been ages since I've seen a stick, everything has an Allison with that same janky '80s seven-segment LED control panel.

Not anymore. I drove Semi trucks and most fleets are going all automatic these days. There are of course some who still prefer a manual, But I would bet commercial trucks will be 90%+ automatics in 10 years.
