Would you buy a SR5 in manual?

I would love a SR5 DCLB 4x4 with a manual trans. Is there anyone else that thinks Toyota is dropping the ball with their options for manual trans?

 

I'd take a 4x2 Off Road in M/T, they make them in A/T only. WT?

 

Just get a TRD Sport or TRD Off Road (4x4) in manual. Yeah it sucks but we have to show Toyota that people want manual trucks.

 

Manual Trans all day long

 

Ordered mine in a manual. I refuse to purchase a vehicle for me in auto.

 

No.
I get injured too much to drive a manual (just had foot surgery). And manuals are for sports cars to me. I like my trucks to have auto transmissions because of all tge long distance travel I do.

 

Manual should be the ONLY option for any type of Truck.

 

Guess people like me with bad knees would have to drive mini vans then.

 

I wish they had a longbed in manual 4x4. I would have bought that.

 

Same here

 

I really didnt like the way that the 6-spd shifts

 

I'm the same way. Trucks are not fun to shift...maybe the years of driving a S2000 ruined me but once you drive a great sports car with an awesome shifter everything else is blah. JMO... To each their own. I do think it's great that Toyota still offers a manual in a truck. I'm afraid they are becoming a very rare breed. Even sports cars are going away from manuals. I learned to drive on a manual and I believe it made me a better all around driver.

 

And may I add, I lost my right hand in a car accident at 18 but my love for manuals was so great, I learned to shift with my stump and continued to drive manuals for the next 10+ years

 

Toyota doesn't entertain custom builds very well. You get what they build. Unfortunately they have only scheduled to make a small percent of these trucks in manuals.

If you want a manual that bad you should be willing to compromise on bed length and to some extent on price. A TRD Off Road 4x4 V6 DCSB M/T with no options MSRPs for $32,100. And that is a really well equipped truck! Not bad IMHO.

 

I'd buy a lowly SR 5 in manual config if it were offered. DC isn't going to cut it, though, as I need to be able to sleep in the bed (I'm just under 6').
