Bring it back with hand-cranked windows, manual locks, cloth seats, a radio that’s simply a USB dock + 3.5mm out in a single cab truck for around $15-20K, and I’ll run that truck to 200,000 miles making it very uneconomical to continue production.
Minus the aux port (or whatever) and the single cab (it has half doors) you just describe my everyday truck. A 2012 Nissan Frontier. It has 260k on the odometer and though the check engine light has been on for about 100k, it is reliable and runs great

The manual trans is the norm anywhere but North America.

In the overwhelming majority of the world, automatic transmissions aren't effective.

Couldn't use a manual transmission to save his husband's life

It's been a while since I've even driven a stick.
I miss my four (or 3) on the floor and have a history of three on the tree.
Suddenly, just like that they were gone.

Well, if driving a manual transmission is gay, call me P Diddy.

I personally like it for my application as clutches are much cheaper then heavy duty transmissions

A h.s. kid comes up and asks if he can drive my 1930 Model A pickup in the homecoming parade at his school. I asked his age (insurance) and he was 18 so I said he could. Then he asked "it is an automatic?" I shook my head and said "no, it is an unsynchronized 3 speed." He could not drive it and I wasn't going to let him learn on my truck. Next day, the FFA sweetheart asked to use it and she could drive a stick shift truck.

Go try renting an automatic in Europe last minute. You're in for a surprise.
