Manual Transmission?

I think Dodge and Ford is the only trucks making manuals in brand new trucks but only in the 2500 series though. No half tons

Dodge - Diesel 2500/3500 only. But it is a Dodge...

I love the price on the Mexico link - $284,300. That is about what it feels like!

It's weird in my 2016 owners Manual it has a few sections that talk about standard transmission operation

Maybe it was Manual Mode you were reading about?

Actually, it's pretty inexpensive. The price is in pesos - I think the exchange rate right now is 15:1 which would make it about $19,000. Sounds too good to be true and it is - U.S. customs would slap at least a 25% tax then there is the little problem making it DOT/EPA compliant. Then trying to register it another hassle. Maybe a total of $40,000 to make it U.S. legal.

probably easier if u buy some of the necessary parts (master cylinder, pedal and such), swap in a TR6060, custom made driveshaft.

Stupid question...how many besides me would have ordered a manual transmission if it were offered?

I'm disappointed you cannot get a triple-pedal in any full-size trucks.

I hadn't thought about it, but would have gone with a manual if it had been available.

I am in the 2015 Corvette Z51 minority that went with the 7M and love it.

Driving around town I just use 1-4, but the upper gears are great on the highway to get 29mpg.

They don't offer one...been trying to order one for years...not because of lack of demand...because of epa regulations folks! Most people can't get the milage from a manual, except for truck drivers. You could special order a Ford in a manual up too 2017...not enymore. Dodge one tons is the only option if you want a manual these days. I've burned up 5 autos in 6 years....2nd one on my 2019 silverado 1500. They've also geared them so high now for epa regs(idiots) its melting the trannys down in 60000kms, too much heat due to overworking 100% of the time. Then gm claims it customers fault and won't warranty their own Junk!! If I can't get an American truck with a manual tranny when I get next truck, I will be getting a Toyota I'm pree sure u can a manual tranny in them still....

"The 2020 Tundra offers bad news for those seeking out a manual transmission option. The only transmission available is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The Tundra hasn’t offered a manual transmission since the first generation which concluded its run in 2006. Through 2005 the truck was available with a five-speed manual transmission which was upgraded to a six-speed in 2006. When the Tundra moved to a V8 engine in 2007, manual transmission became a feature of the past."

I had a 2001 camaro ss with a 6 speed and that thing would 30 mpg on the highway. That was with me calculating the mpg. Still was hard to believe and it also ran a 13.2 stock at the track.
