[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2572622, member: 26737"] It's not just Ford--nobody puts a man trans in a full-size truck these days. Much as it galls me to say it, there's just not enough uptake to justify the expense on the part of the manufacturers. The first car I ever bought had a slushbox, but the first car I ever drove and ten of my first twelve vehicles had a man trans--and two of the first four had three-onna-tree (and I still have both of them). Aside from that $200 beater, I didn't own a slushboxed vehicle 'til '01. BTW, they're not doing away with the stick for the Mustang or the Focus; there's still enough of a market there to justify keeping them (the continuing popularity of clutches in Europe really helps the Focus on that count).
