In addition, much poseurs buy them.

It won't loolk @toyotadiesel: The current F-150 doesn't offer a manual either. Sad fact is, not many people want them anymore. At least, not enough to make it financially smart to offer a manual.
Although my Dad (who has had Ford trucks since his new 1954 F-300 "Big Job") refuses to buy a new Ford truck for lack of a manual. As much as I like manuals, I think my love for Ford would over-power my love for a stick-shift.

thought it uncanny
wanted a truck
but got stuck
with a car
drove it far
drove it wide
it gave him feelings
in his brain
took the car back
said to the man, "Jack
this ride's all wrong
not wide, not long
I need something mighty"
Jack said "All righty
step 'round to the back
see this on the rack
it's got what you need
that's muscle and speed"
Manny said "Good!"
and as he stood
next to the new mount
and began to count
the dollars to pay
Jack off for the day
to take his new ride
and drive it with pride
he slid inside
and took hold of the parts
twisted the key
to see how it starts
He shook the lever
to feel its fall
and thought "Never
be a recall
on this fine fellow
it's sturdy and mellow
Drive 'im well, Manny!
You can't blow this tranny."
So he kicked off his heels
and pointed his wheels
Manny had his passion
for trucks and cross-dressing fashion.

I believe you guys can import the diesels (I'm sure it is very expensive)?
I've seen pics of a guy in the UK with a lifted 2500 D-max similar to mine, and it must really stand out over there.

You can get them from around £7.5k,but they're hard to find.

Those Lightenings are awesome, and I'd think worth that kinda money.
I saw a nice Harley F-150 in Germany, and it sure was out of place, in a cool way.
What's funny is those trucks are still tiny in comparison to a crew cab HD like mine, by about 3K lb's. However, it seems there are far less people into boats, sandtoys, etc over there that really need to tow. Is the towing predominately for horse trailers and the tiny campers, which people tow with impossibly small cars?

I don't know what a Shogan is, but that is a cool name.
Is it a Montero Sport over here, or Pajero I believe elsewhere? I remember seeing quite a few Pajeros in London when I was there.

In other news, in my sleep deprived state I read "manny tranny" and giggled. Then I though of "blown manny tranny" and thought of this one night in Cologne.

I run (and by run I mean sit at a desk and tell people to do things while surfing Jalokniks) a light to heavy duty truck repair center and all we see are manny tannys. Most companies that buy these things want to save as much money as possible. For your dollar there is no better deal than a manny tranny (chuckles to self).

SUVs on the other hand are a completely different story. They epitomize a level of evility only surpassed by George Bush, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney (aka Cerberus to the greenies).
