Trucks and Standard Transmissions
 

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new truck and based on family needs and where I live I require a cab that will seat 5 or 6, and have four wheel drive. My problem is that I can't seem to find a manufacturer that will let you get a standard transmission on anything but the base model! As soon as I try to upgrade the engine or go 4x4 these online truck builders always force me to go with an automatic transmission. Since this will be my main driving vehicle I REALLY prefer to have it be a standard. I don't like automatics.

Does anyone know of a company that builds a nice truck that will allow me to order a standard transmission and not have to forgo all the other nice options? I'm willing to pay a lot more just to get the standard so price is not necessarily an issue. Thanks!
