ince the Ford Ranger WAS the last stick shift truck we die hard ford fans/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, easier on maintenace and repairs and cheaper on the purchase price 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 that I can't get a truck with the drivetrain I want...it's forced me to buy a truck from another maker. I sincerely hope that it changes! Josh
