It does, and I don't think much of it.
Luckily there is a button on the dash to disable it.
Something clever here.

Are you worried about the turbos? I think I'd chicken out and get the 5.0.
I've read you can't check the oil on the 2.7 for a period of time(15-30 minutes) because the dipstick will read low until all the oil drains back into the pan due the start/stop feature.

So what do you have to do to get a pickup with a manual transmission these days?

Pretty sure Ram is the only full size available with a manual trans, and that is only in the HD series. I am unaware of any 1/2 ton truck available with a manual. I've seen things on the web hinting that the new Nissan Titan will have a manual option but do't know for sure.

As long as we're talking about the Ram, it also can be bought with factory air bags. AFAIK, it's the only one with them available. I have them on my '08 2500 and my partner has them on his '07. They're an option on the '16, too.

Not worried about anything, I just find the auto shut down feature silly.

Or a 3/4 ton...or a 1 ton, unless you buy a Dodge..and then only if you are OK with a derated diesel.

Tundra doesn't come in a 3/4 ton but they try to push their 1/2 ton off as one. Adding air bags would be a big boost in that direction.

I love plain jane work trucks. I wish Chevy still made the W/T like they did in the early-mid 90s. I have a 92 2wd with the 4.3 v6 that still gets 19-20 mpg with closing in on 250k of not gentle miles.
An updated version crank windows and manual locks, rubber floor, 5 sp manual, basic radio and 6L V8 in a 2500 package would trip my trigger. I have a cousin with one just like that, that started life as a fleet vehicle. I can't remember the year, late 2000's I think

Got a friend that remembers when dual airbags meant he had his wife and MIL in the truck.

I had one in a 4wd version for a work truck. It was a very trouble free truck. I wish I could say that about the Chevy's I actually had to pay for.

I have an feeling ya'll two are talking about completely different kinds of airbags.. That's exactly what Toyota does. Several years ago we were truck shopping and we needed a 3/4 ton. We looked at the Tundra and they gave us a big spiel about how the Tundra's load capacity was supposedly as heavy as a real 3/4. They had videos, etc that they wanted us to watch. They very much were trying to sell it as a 3/4 ton.
