Whooo hooo, went down to visit my cousin and he says there is a local ford dealer with a stick shift 05 F150, I call BS till we were there.

Well what do you know, reg cab, short bed, green, XL, 4x2, 4.2L, FIVE SPEED!!!

Got the keys and a dealer plate, and that thing was sweet. Just as fast as our '97 F-150, (but it is lighter). The clutch felt smooth, braked nice, and that tranny was tight and right.

Then just for grins and giggles, drove an identical truck cept for it being a 4.6L auto. It was slower...
