Just a quick question - what manufacturers are still putting out a decent line of manual trucks.

its aaaaaaaaalll gone dude... manual transmitions are too hard for the world, soon auto corolla's are going to take over everything. actually, buy a tacoma, i have a few friends that have them and their sick trucks.

I know thats why I asked, manuals just seem to be dying out.

Well right now I've got a Toyota Half Ton Pickup, which is the predecessor to the Tacoma. She's 12 years old, but an absolute beast. Best 4 wd I've used, decent handling, just a great lightweight truck.

Do the new Tacomas come with a manual option? Or am I going to have to go foraging for a used one when the time comes?

pretty sure that right now, pretty much any vehicle comes with manual option. at least any of the models I've looked at.

yeah especially with 4WD or trucks, manny is always an option. the new tacomas look sick.

no true, but you cant judge my english like you judge someone elses that live in for an example the US.. but still you can point out that, but not when i ask something that have something to do about flowers-dallan
 
Yea, I was just poking around, and as far as trucks, manual 4wd seems to be a pretty stock option. Which is nice, granted I won't be looking or anything until my truck dies, but thats nice to be sure of.

Manual tranny for life.

i thought you were talking about transsexuals and supermodels

I don't deny there are bad things in the US right now, hell, 51% of the country to be exact. But god damnit, our country being fat is NOT a problem. I do't give a shit how fat people are. hell, fat kids are harder to kidnap, that means our country is safer.

I've heard Toyota makes a mean standard transmission.

And yes, almost every car comes with a manual option... it's actually cheaper that way.

I was actually just on the toyota website. The new tacoma has an optional 245 horse V6 with a 6 speed stick. The 245 is so damn much for a truck of that size. I've got a 94 t100 2.7 inline 4 with 5 speed. it's dope as hell but underpowered. New the engine supposedly put out 116, but at 7000 feet and 11 years later I'm guessing it's below 100. I dont really care, tho. It cruises at 85 mph at 22-25 miles a gallon and the tranny, while not a short throw in any sense, is smooth as hell. Pop it into low and it'll climb anything, fully loaded. I put a new topper on it last fall and come spring I'm gonna build a frame that I can put a mattress on and sleep in. It's the ultimate kayakmobile.

ecandrew and I must have similar trucks. right now they're on the 6th version, which was preceeded by the t100, which was preceeded by the one I have now. the first t100 was like 94 or 95, but I forgot that I always just call it a t100 because people always give me a hard time. Toyotas are definitely one of the better truck makers. mine's got like 135,000 and the only thing I've ever had go wrong was a snapped E brake cable which was like $15. If I ever need a new vehicle, it will be a toyota truck. I kinda dont like where they've gone with the styling this year, though. It looks too much like a 00/01 ranger. The older ones have mad style.
