I agree. My local Ford Dealer just got 25 4.6L V8 2010 long bed regular cab trucks in stock last week. $16,400 no haggle price. They have auto, air, bed liner. They are nothing fancy but are a lot of truck for the money with great heritage.

That would mean about 2200 gal. of fuel before you break even. That would mean 30-35 thousand miles to offset the purchase price. I think that will be a hard sell.

35,000 miles is two to three years of driving for the average driver. I don't see that as an unreasonable break even point.

They are still only offering an automatic. I will hold out for the eventual manual shift.

That's a great price on a good basic truck...
When my son totaled his car 2 summers ago, I was able to get him into a 2006 F150 base truck for 10,500...
That truck only had 28K miles on it and he loves it...
You ain't gonna do a lot of heavy towing with it, but with the 6 cylinder engine it gets real good mileage...

Don't hold your breath...I don't think a manual is even be available in any 1/2 ton truck in 2010. Ford had one available with the V-6, but the V-6 is now history. If it is, it won't be for long...Even among the big diesel p/u trucks only Dodge now offers a manual transmission.

It's not suprising that it's taking a long time to get certified here, seeing how the feds are trying their damnedest to kill the diesel vehicle market in this country....
