    Wow, Nice truck! Congratulations!

    How do you like the 6 speed manual?

    I really considered the 6 speed manual but they are limited in Canada to just a few packages and the 5 foot box only. I wanted a 6 foot box so had to go with the Auto.

    I love the manual! I test drove an auto and didn't find it engaging enough for me. Clutch is extremely easy to use. Shifts are fairly long but precise and smooth. Driving it on mountain roads was fun! I've had my fair share of manual sports cars and while it's not my favorite gear box; it definately is a very smooth and great trans for daily driving!

    Awesome, I've had manual transmissions on my personal vehicles in the past and loved them. I used to drive commercial vehicles with Eaton Fuller transmissions so my personal trucks were a joy and breeze to drive. I loved the total control I felt driving the manual. My old 1992 Toyota was a 5 speed with 230K's and the clutch was still in great shape. So good to hear Toyota's 6 speed is still a good choice!

    That is a gorgeous truck! I just took home the 6MT, as well, though not that bad boy Pro--mine is the TRD Off-Road in Cement. Coming from a manual VW GTI it'll take me a little while to get out of sports car mode, from shifting to cornering and beyond, but manual is definitely the way to go for a more interactive experience!
