The V8 version is a far better looking Truck than the 6 pack version.. In my opinion..

I suggest, the demand for a manual transmission option in the Ranger segment is entirely different from the F-150 segment.
The biggest deal breaker is the lack of the 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel and 3.2L 5-cylinder diesel (known to Americans by way of the U.S. market full-size Transit). That the truck has but one engine, in North America, is shocking.
The fact that it isn't available with the standard cab and long bed means they don't care about the commercial segment.
I was planning to purchase a US market diesel Ranger and Everest in the 2019-2020 period (whenever they launched). WIthout the diesel option, that plan is firmly cancelled.
I too find It bizarre that you guys don't get; Diesel Engines, Manual transmissions, or the Single Cab versions..
here, We no longer get the Petrol motor.
But the little single Cabs make up a sizable portion of Sales..

Unfortunately Australia tightened up their noise regulations and Mack dropped their manuals from being offered about 6 years ago
Not trying to Be Rude Mate,
But the few Mack triple countershaft gearboxs I've stirred over the years haven't been any noisier than any other Truck Transmission I've owned (or Driven)
So the above statement has me a Little perplexed. Just saying..

I guessing the numbers indicate the speeds and 'LR' indicate low range but what did M, MLR, and ME in the series number indicate?
L indicates box has an Extra LOW gear in It, & R is for an extra Low reverse.
The LR version is the one I'm interested in..
N.F.I. What either the "M" or "E" signify

The Mack 10 & 18 Speed is listed here as an option on the Granite Only.
i got a Quote on a granite a couple of Months ago & asked about the Mack Transmission. Salesman looked at me as If I had 2 heads (Be quite Swishy very Quite) he told me that 90-95% of the Macks they sell have the "M drive" The rest were Road ranger & he'd Never Sold a Mack transmission in the 6 yrs He'd been selling Vomacks..

Hayseed,Ez Rider, my cousin used to pull a dump trailer maybe 38 ft, he was dumping coal and there was an air pocket under one one of his trailer tandem! About halfway up, the tandem went down in the air pocket and the trailer twisted sideways and laid flat on the ground!, probably resembled the pictured wreck! As he wasn't at highway speed the Astro tractor sat flat and sustained no damage! It remained hooked up ! We all know the fifth wheel is an "overbuilt component,"but this proves it! The Astro was a single frame road tractor! Perhaps the fact that he and his driver never pulled out grossing less than 96000 (in the 73280 days had something to do with it!Lol the trailer had to go back to Fruehof and be straightened,sure wouldn't have wanted to see that bill!
Billy, I've seen that exact same thing a few Times,Even had it happen to one of My Trucks...

The Op said & I quote..
So I'm guessing the Shops that gave him Quotes were just going to fold up & replace the Straight rails behind the Cab & Leave the original fiddly tapered/Flared Front section alone..
But more than happy to be Corrected...
