They are rare in larger vehicles as well. Only Ram still makes a manual for their deisel heavy duty, and they detune the engine by 200 ft/lbs of torque. Automatics HD trucks do not disengage/spool down the turbo when shifting, which is important when you are pulling large loads up a hill.
- bacon_waffle 8y agoI think that depends on the market - here in New Zealand there are plenty options for vehicles with manual transmissions through the whole size range. That said, we don't have many big pickup trucks like the US does - here it's much more common to see mid-duty trucks like the Isuzu Elf in that space.
- emodendroket 8y agoI think "large vehicles" means big rigs, not pickups, and in these auto is still rare.
