Re: Which truck should I get...

The Ford Lightning has never had a manual tranny option. Hopefully the next one will; I believe the concept did.

You could buy an S-10 and replace the 4.3 with an LS1 V8 or something. Has more aftermarket support than the 4.3 does (not that the 4.3 doesn't have good support). Or maybe an S-10 Xtreme? Chevy engines are built pretty well and have lots of torque out of the box. Won't take a whole lot to "wake it up" some.

Also, how heavy will your tow load be?
