Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

I have an identical truck to @nevadabugle and my mileage is spot on with his mileage. 4.30:1 manual transmission trucks don't get bad mileage at all as long as you don't drive it like you stole it. Now towing my rock crawler (4800lbs crawler, gear and trailer) I get mid 12s for mileage running 65-70.

 

Neighbor has a mgm TRD OR AT and that thing is a dog compared to mine. The trans and the 3.90:1 gears bring the suck.

 

You can't drive a manual with those hippie shoes...

 

well, you can, but...

honestly, i think this is the easiest MT & clutch combo i've ever driven. especially the clutch.

did any of you see lower mileage in the early days, like during break-in? just wondering. i'm just past 500mi, am driving like break-in recommends so i'm not just cruising at low rpms, but i'm seeing ~16mpg. i'm also not really revving it into the power (3500+) yet.

 

I see 1 mpg's lower with winter blend gas.

 

AT=dogs

 

Yah bro I know I take them off and go barefoot.

Only way to fly.

 

Thats just mean to dogs.

 

Then explain why there are so many tacos in So Cal.

 

There are many automatic tacos in South Cal.

 

+100000
Most so cal tacos are all gimpomatics

I had to go to hipster states to get both my thre pedals as you know

 

Here is my real three pedal driving footwear.

 

Yours is baller

Here is my poor boy stuff

 

That may be the first and last time in history that a pair of Thorogood boots have been called "baller".

 

Well I didn't want to post pics of my Louboutin

 

If they are the Louise Xi please post a pic...please.

 

Nope

Iriza

 

I'm more of a boot fan.

 

No 3rd pedal with those heels, big brake pad evident.

 

Not gonna lie, a good 3 pedal day for me includes a lot of mud or ponds or snow and these bad boys. Never let me down.
