Totalled my 6spd toyota a couple years ago. Wanted a half ton. Nobody makes them with manuals, so auto it is. If any manufacturer, gm, ford, dodge, toyota whatever offered a 1/2 ton with a manual, thats what i would have bought. It would have absolutely been the deciding factor that sold me on that make of vehicle. But nobody makes them any more. Ffs you cant even get a corvette with a manual anymore.
