manual tranny in newer silverados?

[jveik]

i was wondering if GM even still has manual transmissions available for its pickups. i love my 95 k1500 because the stick helps you slow down in the snow and is also a blast to drive. i hope that they still have the option, since i have yet to see a truck newer than mine with a manual transmission. i have 175,000 miles on my current truck and its probably only got 50 or 100 thousand left, so as soon as i get into the local electrical union and make some real money, i plan on investing in a new truck, provided they offer a stick, so that i dont get stranded on the interstate on the way to a jobsite 50 miles from my house or something like that

newest gas truck i've SEEN with a manual is an 06...you may be able to get a work truck with a manual, or even a duramax. might be a good idea to goto the chevy site and build out a few, or call a dealer...worst thing they can say is no.

I don't know about the new ones but I have a 99 that I had to order special back then cause only 2% of the trucks they make were manuals.

None of the nbs(2007 up)are stick--can't get one from Chevy now. Only dodge and ford

that sucks. they are much easier to drive with because you can basically use the tranny to stop the vehicle. plus its funner
