LOVE the new truck. I do lawn maintenance on the side and it pulls my trailer like it isn't there...honestly. of course my current trailer is only a 5x10 open trailer that is only about 3k lbs loaded. HOPE to get at least a 6x12 enclosed before next season. My Tacoma didn't like pulling the 5x10 in this terrain, and knew it would be dangerous with an enclosed.quote:

Scooby is right 2005 was the first year you could get the double cab with a manual tranny. Only way I can tell you to find one is the look at the autotrader.com and you can refine your search to any distance and to show only manual trannies with 4 doors. Good luck. I think that would be a great truck. Scooby how do you like your duramax/allison combo?
Let me just say that I was referring to the old 3.3L engine in the Nissan trucks that many complained were only averaging 12-14mpg. I failed to remember that the Nissan TRUCKS were now optioned for the 4.0L as well.quote:

I'm pretty sure the double cab makes you take
the biggest engine option.
03-04 double cabs only come in autos, 05+ come with autos or 6 speed trannys.quote:

So far all we're able to find is automatics.
We're looking for slightly used, say between '03-'05. Are the 5-spds hard to come by in the 4-dr; we're finding all kinds of 5-spds, but they're either single cab or king cab. We need the room of the 4-dr for sure.
This will be a construction truck, but will get it's share of driving through the mountains, rough 4x4 trails, as well as pulling trailers, etc. We'd much prefer the 5-spd over the auto; our current '85 Toy p/up 22re has retired at 300k miles, still on original clutch.
Any hints would be great - thanks!
