No one is making the manual trannies anymore. Ford quit in 2009- 2010, don't know when Chevy quit. The Dodge you have to buy the 2500-3500 Diesel to even get a stick but, it's not a true stick. Just try rocking the truck if you're stuck. You have to wait for the rpms to slow to a certain point before the computer will allow it to shift. That is nothing like a real standard where you can control the shift.
I suspect that the computer control of the engine and tranny is why they discontinued the manual transmissions if the truth could be known.
I will probably never buy a new truck again because you cannot get a manual tranny. I have an auto now and hate it for several reasons. I totally disagree with whoever said that an auto tranny is easier to back up a heavy load with. Don't even like trying to hook up to an empty trailer with my auto. They lack the "feel" of the manual shift where you can ease the clutch out and get that " ease it back" control. With the Auto you have to push the accelerator down until the tranny finally grips and then it wants to take off on you. Really hard to ease into either forward or reverse. Almost has the feel of a centrifugal clutch on a UTV.
The auto companies are going after the sissy market of people who would rather not have to shift for themselves. They will try like heck to sell you an auto with all kinds of BS on why they are better. Bull- Pucky!

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
