Picked up brochure ar Friday while having 40k service done.
Interesting the F 550 needs 488 gears to have same Gcwr as the F 450 pickup. No Nav radio in chassis cabs.

Thanx, Billy. The one you attached is the January 2009 version, which is all we had until now.
Cochise sent me the July 2009 version of that file yesterday, and I tried to attach it to a post, but Hughesnet kept timing out, so I was not successful until just now.
It's different than previous years in that all the SuperDuty pickups, F-250 through F-450, are in one order guide.
July 2009 USA version of the 2010 SuperDuty Pickup Order Guide is attached. Click on the attachment to this post.
Manual tranny is still available on XL and XLT 4x4 SRWs with diesel engine. Not available on 4x2s or on the fancier trim levels. But if you want a stick shifter, you'd better order one now. I have a strong suspicion they won't be available at all (except maybe for commercial fleet sales) after the 2010 model year.

Reason: clarify
Jason to clarify, I meant according to the Canadian SD Pick up and chassis 2010 Order Guides sent to me by my salesperson last week. Guides both dated 6/15/09.
From the Pick up guide, "Manual Transmission has been discontinued" and from the chassis guide "Manual Transmission is no longer available; Automatic Transmission is standard for all models".
The documents are marked Propietary but I can email.
Whether they are accurate I do not know.
Also the itemized quotes sent to me for a 2010 F350 XLT pu and chassis both show the auto trans I spec'd as OPT N/C. I noted the 2010 base price for said trucks has increased $2,600 ('09 auto was $1,970)
If I order this truck soon, I'll ask my rep/Fleet Mgr.
