The "what...no manual" crowd reminds me of the HD crowd back when Ford and GM decided not to spend many millions of dollars to develop a new manual that could handle the high torque numbers of the modern diesel HD pickup...oh, how they cried foul...but they ignore the simple truth...If there was a market for a manual transmission in these trucks...and I mean a real market, not just the handful that post here, these manufacturer's would be offering them
I don't know the what the take rate for a manual Colorado/Canyon might actually be but my guess is it's the same ridiculously low "less than 1.5%" take rate" on the HD trucks...no market so no availability...
Now before all the manual fans get all upset with me, I have over a million miles of manual transmission driving...in everything from small cars to semi tractor trucks...I was driving a 13 speed International a couple of weeks ago personally, I hope to never own another manual transmission truck...but I respect the manual fans right to ask for one...
