Anyone else have a 2020 TRD Off-Road Manual on order?

Absolutely! Finally someone who understands!!

 

I do, and I also first learned how to drive in a 1967 Ford F-100 6cyl with 3 in the tree.

 

Yup....I was referring to its relevance to the OP

 

That's awesome. I never learned to drive one on the column.

 

Oh I think so too. The manual is a dying breed in the US...Unfortunately.

 

Absolutely.

 

Made sense to me. 6 up though

 

I’m still trying to figure out how to go into drive ...little side story went to discount with my old challenger r/t no longer have different story . Kid was so exited to pull her in the bay for tire service . He ran out there all happy opened the door and his demeanor changed lol .. his coworker stated to him manual ? ... the kid sighed yes ... priceless lol .

 

Looks like you blue a shift there.

 

Next time you need to rent a car, tel them you don’t know how to drive an automatic. Its fun to watch the confusion...

 

Once upon a time I used to think I was hot shit, until I got into a taxi cab in Lisbon. Heavy stop and go traffic. I could see the cabbie working the shifter 1-2-3-2-3-1-2...etc. I could see him rapid firing that stick, but never once did I feel it. Never once. No roll backs on hill starts either. Dude was so smooth with the clutch that the car was actually quieter than an automatic.

It might not be exciting, but it does take serious skill to do that.

 

Are all manual transmission owners this way? Jesus.

You can use something that’s been around for 126 years, and was the norm rather than the exception until 20 years ago.

Congrats!

 

All 4 of my vehicles were manual trans. Best anti theft these days lol

 

Gotta admit that's the nicest one of those I've seen. The few I've been familiar with were jutting out of a painted metal kick panel.

 

Whats the big deal ?

 

Ha! Ha! you're dating yourself!

 

Wish they still put this in vehicles
