Thanks. :-) Its a stick (no automatics for me, thanks. :-), yes, it
has the limited slip, but its not a 4x4. I didn't think the extra
expense of the 4x4 was worth it. There was another post about
color... Mine is 2 tone with the lower break (not the centerband).
Most of the truck is black, but the lower break is that driftwood
(tan/grey). It looks pretty nice when its not covered with road salt. :-P
The driftwood on the bottom does a really good job of hiding the
dirt and stuff kicked up by the tires. It lets me go quite a bit
longer between washings. :-)

I've driven all combinations of transmissions and engines (except for
the 4 cyl). I found that with a stick, the 6 speed is pretty quick,
especially on a non-club cab sport. The 6 with an auto is (IMHO)
really, really bad. Really sluggish, no response, no power. The
8 with an auto is better than a 6 with an auto, but my vote goes to
the 5 speed with the 8 for best overall.
