I would say it depends on the level. The group I mostly wheel with are using their daily drivers, I think that level is predominantly to be auto.. But the more hardcore people who trailer their rigs and have a low gear crawler box like you mentioned are mostly manuals I think. Or at least more likely to have manuals.
