This is a pickup truck, and it has a four-speed, though I would have preferred a 5-speed for the overdrive. (I've driven automatics, but I prefer standard.) And you can get any combination you want...including a diesel engine with whatever tranny...the car builders LOVE special orders!

I just thought that automatics were more widespread in America than they are here.

It's unusual that your pickup has only four forwards, most heavy veicles have five forwards, they need the fifth one for more 'juice'!!
