Manual Transmission?

[ewbldavis]

Stupid question...how many besides me would have ordered a manual transmission if it were offered?

 

I'm disappointed you cannot get a triple-pedal in any full-size trucks.

I would of loved to have a manual transmission in my chevy, any reason they stop selling manuals in the full size trucks?

No actual demand or sales. Everyone says "oh I'd love a manual!" and then they don't buy. Heck even the take rate on performance cars is low however there is market and enough demand to make them.

Yeah I can understand what you're saying, a lot of car companies are getting rid of it just because lack of demand

it is probably available in other parts of the world.

I agree on the lack of demand. In this day and age, sticks are only popular with muscle cars.

In terms of a pickup, I would only want a stick if I were buying a 6.2L with the intention of building a beast with a super charger, long tube headers, etc.

but it would be slower and more inconsistent vs an automatic. for me a manual would just be more engaging and fun to drive. my first few trucks were scsb 5.7 5 speed and i loved them.

When it comes to any muscle car/truck, I want a stick so that I have full control of the shifts. I would only consider an automatic for a straight line 1/4 mile race vehicle.

I saw this post while browsing and decided to join the forum. I'm definitely a stick shift Chevy/GMC guy, having owned a number of SWB stick shift models 1973-2004. First, a 2015 5 spd SWB Silverado is still produced by Chevrolet, Mexico. It comes well equipped for serious stuff - 265/70x17 load range C tires, a 4.10 rear end, but is 2wd only. I'm in Brownsville, Texas - they are sold right across the Rio Grande in Matamoros and Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. No way I'm going over there to buy one! Even if one could import it, there is the little problem with warranty. It would have to be serviced in Mexico and shiny new pickups attract a lot of attention. OK, it's made in Mexico in the same plant that the ones for delivery to the U.S. I don't know why GM can't distribute the model here, as they already produce it.

 

Second, my car bio. Currently I drive a 2015 4 door Wrangler auto, but I'm very seriously buying some kind of used 1993 to 1998 Chevy/GMC SWB 5 spd. for daily driver and save the Jeep for off-road. But I'm a little intimidated by all the things that can go wrong on an older vehicle. FWIW I'm 70 years old, retired, and can't invest a lot of time into fixing things. But I do miss my stick shift Chevies. I hate driving the automatics, and I'm talking about highways and city traffic. I want to control the engine, not the other way around!

This is the link for the 2015 5 spd Mexico Silverado SWB. If you click on the "Especificaciones" it will show the 4.11 rear end, 5 spd and C-rated tires:

I think Dodge and Ford is the only trucks making manuals in brand new trucks but only in the 2500 series though. No half tons

I love having a clutch for doing fun stuff, but I will only buy automatic for daily drivers from now on.
