...while waiting for routine service to be completed on my wife's car, I
test drove a 2016 Toyota Tacoma truck. What a sweet ride...made even
sweeter by the presence of its six speed manual transmission. The last
time I drove a pickup truck with a stick shift, it was back in the late
1950's, at my dad's boat store. I think it was a four speed, but you
started in second because first was there only to get the truck rolling
if you were pulling something really heavy.

Be careful, next you'll be looking at 5th wheel trailers to pull with that Tacoma! My
'95 GMC was a five-speed. Same deal with 1st gear. I think I used it once, just to
see what it was like. At 3000 rpm the speed may have been 7 mph.
