If you plan on driving a lot at 70-75, then I would prob give the nod to a TKO as the rpms will get excessive there,QUOTE]

I would agree. I don't drive any interstates around here in central Arkansas. I30 and I 40 intersect here and are both major truck routes across the middle of the country. It's just bumper to bumper semis with a few passenger cars/pickups and SUVs mixed in to add a little filler. It's about as much fun to drive as going for a root canal and you usually wonder if you will live to get off at the next exit. Access roads, country roads and state highways are about all we have to comfortably drive on so a 55 mph cruise is doing good. But, if you are where you can and will drive a lot of interstates and expressways - by all means get a 5 speed.
