    Well just upgraded from a 08 access cab 2.7l manual to a 2012 dcsb sport 6spd 4wd.I never knew what i was missing not having a 4.0l.It's nice to have the torque and the 6spd is so much nicer than 5spd.The only thing I don't like is the short bed.I would have got the longbox but no 6spd.Overall I really like the truck

    Yeah, the 6 speed definitely has some torque. :D
    Glad you like it.

    Not speaking technically here...I'm talking about the feel! Manuals always feel more torquey and jumpy than autos.

    :p

    Hey guys, I traded in my 2011 access cab 4cyl 5 spd 4x4 for a 2012 DCSB O/R v6 auto. Loving it!

    Quick question, the face of my radio is really hot when listening to the radio. Any of you guys have this issue!
