I'm looking for something like the RAM SRT 10 or Tacoma X-Runner, but with 4x4. Bonus points if it has a manual transmission.

I can't seem to think of one actually being made. Chevy had the Silverado SS but that wasn't all that great IMO.

There's the current-gen Silverado with the 6.2, but that's not really unique IMO and costs too much to beat up/use as a truck.

Any ideas?
 
Around 13 -14 Ford built the "Tremor" it was a short bed standard cab F150 with a 3.5EB and a 4:10 rear gear it came with buckets and a console and in FX2 or FX4 versions, no manual trans though. Should be a hoot if you can find one, they seem to be pretty rare.

If pickup, maybe F-150 Raptor?

If SUV, then Durango SRT or Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.


I guess an SUV could count, too.

That RAM SRT 10 would have been PERFECT if it had a 4x4 option.

I remember the Tremor, not a fan of that ecoboost though.

It's actually a pretty cool truck:

Forget the manual transmission. Its a PIA these days in traffic. Think of resale. You cut down your prospective buyers by 2/3 I would bet.
Even if I were to want a manual, that means my wife cannot drive it. Nor daughters.

Wait until you get a Porsche.

OP should just get himself a nice 3.8 Buick, and a glass of prune juice.

If you want a manual transmission it is going to have to be old or custom, I'm afraid.

Time to build that hot rod you have always wanted!
 
The closest thing to a "sport truck" now a days is a plain jane F-150 XL, with the 5.0 V8. Throw in the sport appearance package and the 101A package, you've got a decent truck. Add 4x4 and the FX4 package if you want a "desert runner" in a stripped down package. That's about as close as you'll get.

Throw a supercharger on the 5.0... now you're talking a sport truck.

With how big the truck market is and how much money people spend on them, it does seem odd there's no big-engine "street" trucks.

Like a Silverado with the 650hp LT4
Or a Ram with a Hellcat engine.
 
There was also the Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin. IIRC the original concept for this had a supercharged 4.6L, but I think the actual production models only came with a regular NA 4.6.
