    This is less of an issue in big trucks, but for light duty trucks such options are slim, unless you custom order one like I had to do and even first it even has to be offered.

    I don’t know how long before it will be my turn to be neutered with an automatic, but being able to shift gears in my pickup will allow me to keep my man card. :D

    Unfortunately that’s the only “ANY” full size pickup you can get with a manual. Otherwise I probably would’ve bought another Ford.

    But, so far I like it. :)
