The new GM Silverado and Sierra's in the 3500 series are supposedly not available with standard transmissions either. I suppose it's due to 90% of the sales being automatics.randy41 said:I think you're right. I tried to build a ford f150 with an 8 and the only transmission choice was automatic. same with chevy silverado. times have changed.
i hope my '99 F-150 with a v-6 lasts forever. it is very low end.
