Need Advice!
Ok everyone. I need y'alls help here. I've been looking into the F-250 SD for a while now, and I would really like one but with the small parking lots around school I don't feel like negotiating that lug through it every day, but I still want a fairly big 4X4 truck with a manual. The Supercrew 5.4 Litre 4X4 looks great and all except, do they not make a manual for the 5.4 Litre? I seriously hope they do because I really want the Triton 5.4 but I need a manual. I know the 4.2 liter has a manual but that's a V-6 (Pathetically weak) and it's no in the SC. Any advice on what to do?

It will mostly just be for around town and I will probably haul a small boat trailer for a jet ski around on the weekend, but not too often (It won't be heavy). I guess I am little performance-minded too. I just worry about how the V-6 is up the hills because we do have some steep hills around here. I have a 2k V-6 Explorer XLT right now, how much different would the F-150 be?

Majisto,
I think you can get a 4.6L V-8 with a manual tranny. The 5.4
is more powerful but I consider my 4.6L downright peppy! While driving
around town.
Could use some more power when climbing mountains at highway speeds.
