I would put my money on the totally new F150 to be set for the 2015 MY...which would be on the market in late 2014 (which is why I think a lot of articles and people are saying we may see it in 2014).

It's not because, the V8's puts out more emissions with a manual. Cause you can get a 2013 Mustang GT 5.0 with a 5 speed manual transmission, which is the same motor in the F150. Not including the ECOBoost, which is what I want. If other MFG'S, has manual transmissions as an option with their V6 engines. Why can't Ford have an option with a manual transmission with the V6 ECOBoost engine? It's a V6! I'm not giving up and setteling for what ever they have on the lot.

Good luck with that. I don't think they're easy to register because they don't meet us safety standards...
