It is good to know that you can still get a Jeep with a manual transmission - sad that it is so hard to get a small diesel engine with manual transmission in an SUV or a pickup truck - The F-150 should be available with a manual transmission - and not just in a base work truck model. The Toyota Tacoma is available with a manual transmission - too bad they don';t put out an old style LandCruiser as a true off road vehicle.
