Andy C. – I have to agree with you because I too prefer manual transmissions to automatic transmissions. My reasons are, 1) they’re cheaper, 2) they’re bulletproof, 3) they get or used to get better gas mileage, and 4) most of all, you have more control and feel of your vehicle (e.g. you easily do jump starts). Having stated my preference, I should also mention that the newer duel clutch automatic transmissions might get better MPGs than one can from a manual transmission. This website explains the advantage quite well.

Andy C. – I don’t know where you live or if you’re looking for a new or used pickup, but I checked Autotrader.com and found 99 Nissan Froniter Crewcabs with a six cylinder engine and a manual transmission.
