Question for a Chrysler Rep.

Question for a Chrysler Rep.
I asked Ford, GM,; Nissan, And Toyota The identical question I ask now.
Can I order a 6sp sp manual transmission i. n a full size, gas powerd truck?
I Will not buy new, 2015, unless thiers a option for a manual Transmission.
I have two options, :Tacoma,; Mid size, save lots of money, or CTD and pay mega bucks for more truck than I need.
Please do not offer up typical BS stating thiers no demand, im willing to pay more [ not CTD More] for my preference.
Im not so sure Chrysler wants a owner investing in after market parts just to keep a 2006 hemi 2500 6sp road and off road ready.

I actually had a buddy of mine with an 05' looking to upgrade to a 14' and asked if their was any way to special order a 6 speed for a Hemi and he was told absolutely not unless it was for a large order (multiple trucks) and even then it would be at a significant upcharge. The best he could do was the dealer said they could order him a 6 speed trans and retrofit it but the cost would be huge and they would not warranty the job.
Best of luck.

I'm pretty sure in an article I read last year stated that No 6spd manual is available in gas 2009+ model years. Mostly because of demand.
And, you cannot possibly compare a Tacoma to a Ram unless your need for a truck has less to do with towing/hauling.
The new ZF transmissions are 8spd and are probably more efficient than any 6spd manual.
What is the reason for a manual? Do you like the manual labor to shift? Just a lot of work to shift a truck IMO. I've driven my truck(superchips trans tune) and in a 6spd Ram. The 6spd sucks. My truck is way faster and snaps my head back like no other. It's smoother..etc I much prefer automatic. it's seamless when towing. Plenty of power with the Hemi for an Automatic.

plumcrazy73,
Our Ram 2500 and 3500's do have 6-speed manual transmissions available, however, the option is only available with a diesel engine.
@cyclone429, a manual transmission is not an available option with our gas powered engines.
