04-05 in manual
Ok quick question.
I have always had manual tranny cars/trucks. Right now I have a 5 speed Focus and a 4 speed 83 F250. I was wondering if the new 04 or 05 F150 was available in a manual tranny(OK so I'm trying to save a buck here but I do perfer a manual over an automatic). A salesman(I think he was new) told me that the only way I could get a manual tranny was to get an 04 Herritage Ed work truck (stripped down regular cab no power windows/locks no AC no options can be added and only comes with a 6cil). After reading a little I realized that the Herritage Ed is just an 04 with the 03 body on it and can have all 04 or 03 options.?? Am I correct on the Herritage Ed?
Can someone let me know about the manual tranny?

Kingfish is correct. Local Ford dealership owner told me the 04 body style does NOT come in a manual. I also heard the 05 would have it. The Heritage model 04 is a 03 body style build in 04. Still a 03 truck just bran new.

Thank you guys.
I was hoping sence the F250 had it as an option so would the F150, at least in the 5.4L that is optional in the 250. Unfortunatly a 4x2 is out of the question for me, already got a "72 4x2 don't need another
.
On a personal note I do not like how truck manufacturers are leaving out manual trannies from there line-up. I first saw this happen in the 2002 Toyota 4Runner(friend had to search high and low for a left over 01 manual. Found one over 400 miles away). I know the auto is easier to deal with in a truck but some of still like to have the option.
