Manual Transmission F250-F550
ans/supporters deserve a Ford manual transmission truck like the Ford Super Duty's ZF 6 speed OD Manual was my favortie transmission I want it back in the ford super duty where it belongs it makes driving the ford super duty funner, better fuel economy the new 6 speed Automatic makes the diesel/gas use to much fuel , easier on maintenace and repairs and cheaper on the purchase price So People/ Loyal Super Duty Customers want the ZF 6-speed OD Manual with the 6.7 Powerstroke diesel or the 6.2 Gas engine but the ZF 6-speed OD manual is better off being the partner transmission with the 6,7 Powerstroke , Automatics are too expansive on repairs, use too much fuel, makes driving boring , etc.So Ford wake up and listen to your loyal customers/ fans like me and reoffer the ZF 6 Speed OD back in Ford F250-550 Super Duty Trucks , you owe us that your customers So Ford Please reoffer the ZF 6-speed Manual, there is still a DEMAND We Canadians and Amercians deserve our Manual Transmission option back auto dont cut it Dodge is taking Sales on their Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Equipped Manual diesels , My reasons are the same as anybody's. Control, reliability, economy, etc. The Manuals aka ZF 6-speed OD Manual are so far superior to automatics in those regards that my feeling is that if I know/Learned how to drive one of them, I'm crazy if I don't. It seems like the automatic transmission is always the first thing to give trouble in a truck. lthough I realize that most consumers prefer an automatic, there are those of us who don't. I understand that there are costs associated with designing a truck with 2 types of transmissions, so why not make it an extra cost option? I'd be willing to pay up to $500 additional for a standard, and yes, I would wait the extra 6 weeks. It's a shame you disoffered the ZF 6speed OD Manual and you were so wrong to Do that and WE Want it back Badly in our super duty, here a high demand for it Josh

Gary P Ford made this a self-felfilling prophecy. They didn't sell many manual transmissions, but there weren't any available on dealer lots either. When I bought my '05, the closest available to Chicago was in Nebraska! How can you sell manuals when there are none available???? Real drivers shift for themselves!!! Wake up, Ford!!!

Isaak Stagl My buddy is looking to buy a brand new diesel truck, with a manual. Too bad Ford doesn't offer it anymore, he's buying a Dodge instead. I would love a brand new F250 with a 5 or 6 speed manual. Hell yeah.

Jamie P I agree you cant find a used pick up or even order a new pick up with a stick anymore.

Christopher Kirk I 2nd the request for a manual. A work vehicle without a stick? REALLY? Some of us use our trucks for actual work rather than a fashion statement.

David Duggan Josh, I would be willing to pay at least an extra grand for the manual transmission on my 50,000$ Ford F250. It's just the opposite of the automatic transmission costing more. Without a manual transmission in the F-Series, Ford alienates all of it's Global buyers but maybe they just make a manual for them to drive. Hopefully, I'll be able to buy a new F250 Diesel 6-Speed Manual in the next few years as I will need several new trucks for work.
