There are 2 pickups here, both diesel and neither half ton so they won't fit your spec's. However, since we are all getting older and more likely to break something if we aren't careful...
I missed a step coming downstairs 3 weeks ago. Broke a couple bones in my left foot, cause that is what stopped my fall, by slamming it up against the wall in the corner of the staircase. I quickly learned just how much fun shifting gears is, when your left foot has 2 broken bones. Didn't help with the start and stop, but I sure am glad that I am proficient at floating gears with a manual tranny!
Driving yourself to the Doctor would be so much more fun with an automatic!
