Looks great. I plan on buying a manual as well. How are you liking it so far?

Man that is a nice looking truck. I wish we could get it a short bed Sport+ with an auto trans.

I hear you. Canadian Specs don't allow for that configuration. However a manual tran is fast becoming an added anti theft device...

I have been driving it for 2 weeks now on short trips. The shifting takes a bit of time to get used to. 1) the clutch engages high in the travel and 2) the stick is a long throw. Once you're passed that "learning curve" though, it works like a charm.

I am not a fan of the electronic parking break however. I find it annoying. It automatically engages when you turn off the vehicle which is great, it is supposed to disengage when you start the vehicle and start moving. First time I drove it off the dealership lot, I stalled it. So now when I start the vehicle, I put it in neutral press on the brakes and take the parking brake off before I shift it into gear and start driving. It works for me.
