There are automatic transmission models for small trucks. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Principle of Automatic Transmission: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it tends to be.
I've been driving for several years, and I remember that small trucks used to be mostly manual transmission, but that's not necessarily the case anymore. Many small trucks or light-duty trucks, such as the Ford Transit or Chevrolet Express, now come with automatic transmission options. I personally drove a Toyota Tacoma pickup, which was equipped with an automatic transmission, and it drove very smoothly, especially in city traffic where you don't have to shift gears constantly. If you're considering buying a small truck for commuting or hauling light loads, automatic transmissions are becoming more common because they're better suited for daily driving and less tiring than manuals. However, they do cost a bit more and have slightly higher fuel consumption, so you'll need to choose based on your budget. Overall, there are definitely small trucks with automatic transmissions—just check out different brands to see what's available.
