Driving manual car like driving a truck?

No

 

Not even close

 

No. Car experience will make it harder to operate a truck.

 

I've been driving a standard 4 wheeler since I started driving at all in 1997. I've only owned manuals. There is not much the same between driving a big truck and a little one. While you might understand the concept of driving a manual better if you've already driven one, you'll have to throw out all that knowledge and start over again to drive a big rig.

Let me ask you this. When you drive a 4 wheeler, do you double clutch? What about floating?

These terms seem weird and foreign because you don't use them driving a 4 wheeler, but they are every day occurrences in a big rig.

 

No. In a car the transmission is usually already synchronized to allow you to shift into a gear without worrying about rpm’s. Even though that isn’t always a good thing you could literally drive down the highway in a car and shift from 5th to 1st gear (again not a good thing) without any grinding. In a truck matching your rpm’s with the gear you want to go into is something that you have to think about.

 

YES, it sure is.

A truck has a clutch, it has a gear shift level and an accelerator pedal, there is not a thing different about a truck.

The techniques you learn in driving a manual car is used in a truck with some added items that you have to deal with, like if you have a 13 or 18 speed transmission, you have a level and button to deal with. Another is you have many more gears in many of the trucks.

BUT overall the same starting procedure, the same shifting methods and so on can be used.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR SKILL TO LEARN.

 

No.

Cars tend to match transmission to the gear you are supposed to go.

You do your own matching in a big truck. In any event the autos in the big truck and future electric will take that problem away from those too dense to learn.

 

I just going to stay in my lane, but a Simi and a car, is no were close, if one thinks that good for them, clutch is clutch sure but if jump in a Simi from a car you will not get very far if any, cars what 4 speed are 5 right, now Simi 9/ 10/ 13/ 15/ 18 and o yes super 10, cars is a total different monkey, if you have been driving a car the only good will come from that is you will have a better control of the clutch.

 

Ridge what are you talking about? In a car you NEVER double clutch and with a truck you do. In a car you never float and in a truck you do. You single clutch a car and never single clutch a truck? How can you say its the same thing? It's not even close.

The OP didn't ask if trucks had the same components as a car, he asked if you drive it the same way. And the answer is absolutely not.
