to those who own the 2011 f250 6.7 Diesel engine BASE model, do you have it equipped with a manual tranny? or is it strictly auto only? and if you dont mind sharing what is the price tag??
I've got alot but not all of the options available on my truck and I paid just over 54k cash out the door. I got up-fitter switches, the chrome package, running boards, off-road package, dual alternators, rear view camera, and some other stuff. Awesome truck!
i think dodge is the onlhy one that offers both diesel and a manual? i would have thought that you could still have a custom vehicle built by GM or FoMoCo. i guess i was wrong
Only Dodge offers the manual. That is the only way I would get a Dodge: with a Cummins and a manual, then wait for everything else to break and fall apart.

it costs millions of dollars to design, test, manufacture, build and support another tranny.
and the big volume customers aren't buying anymore.. cause they can't hire youngens that know how to drive sticks, and don't want to train them (cost).
It also reduces the fleet maint with only one thing to support.
ford says less than 1% of their volume requested manual.
we had a poll over in the 6.7 section, and our select users, all <200 of them, 1/3 said they would buy a stick.. so, 75 people.. hard to justify millions for shipping 75 trannys.
if its got an auto, anyone can drive it, not true on a stick. (hiring)
so they spent time adding features to help in the situations where manuals seem to have advantage..
you can manually adjust the gears from the steering wheel.
you can lock out gears (turn it into a 3 speed if u need to)
moved the engine torque band down to 1600rpm (get things moving)
changed the tranny ratios to put more of the torque on the ground sooner.
