The six speed manual? Now that's cool.

Yeah. That engine must have a very narrow power band to need 6 speeds.
Is it also available with a dump truck body?


If ya can't find 'em, grind 'em.

Why assume a narrow power band, why not a higher top speed
and better passing gear? I drove a 5 speed for year that
topped out at ~150 and wished many times for a sixth gear.

OTOH if the wife stalking is a bit slow this morning and you
obviously have no intelligent comment to make, why not.

Doug, read the reviews for the 407. It does indeed have a pretty poor
and narrow powerband. The 6 speed tranny is a downstream from a much
better engine config.

I like my 18 speed Roadranger. I must have a narrow power
band, huh?

According to BB's rules of engineering, that power band
would be about as wide as an RC hair.
