Manual transmission Diesels

Apr 30, 2004 6 Replies

I'm trying to find a regular cab 4X4 Diesel with a manual transmission. Finding hens teeth would be a lot easier. Is this a rare truck or am I just looking in the wrong markets? I can't even find a V8 or V10 gas truck like this.

My neighbor drives such a truck in the Calif mountains. He found it on the lot. You just have to call around.

It is kind of hard to find any full size truck with a manual trans anymore. The marketing people are simply catering to our lazy society. I was going to buy a 2004 F150, but they don't even make a manual trans for it. I decided to wait a few years in hopes they will come out with one.

I bought a 2000 F-250 4x4 diesel with a manual transmission. At that time it was easy to find a manual. I never did look at a regular cab.

I test drove a supercab long bed F350 with manual, and the dealer that I bought from had quite a few with manuals.

It might depent if you look at an urban dealer versus one father away from the city.

There is a 6 speed crew cab Diesel here on a used car lot. Think it's an 02.

Go to a Ford dealer and see what they find for you on there computers.

I your willing to go new, they can build you one in F250 if not available in

150.
