I don’t think you can even order a manual in a new Ford or GM 1/2 or 3/4 ton any more, only Dodge. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
Wow. You’re right.
Looks like only the ‘mid-size’ PUs and bigger than ‘full-size’ trucks are still available with manual transmissions.

Dodge has deleted the manual from all but their HD diesel trucks and IIRC that’s set to go away soon as well. Minimum entry point is about $45K, even for a fleet 2500/3500.
