Looking at possibly buying a new truck. Want a Cummins with a manual trans. Apparently ordering for the 2018 HD closes at the end of this month. I am wondering if anyone knows, with some certainty, if the G56 will be offered with the 2019 and 2020 model year. I'm not 100% sure I will be ready to order until ordering opens for the 2019 model (which I understand will be a short run).

Let me know. Thanks

TFL video I watched this morning says no manual and no 5.7 hemi on the new trucks. It was a video with the head engineer.

If you want a manual you better get one now. They are a thing of the past and not going to be in the lineup from here forward.

Two different dealers told me no manual option for 2019.

Slightly offtopic, but curious if what I once read was true: You needed to Granny shift the G56 and it wasn't able to handle much power, it also wasn't as fun as you'd expect it to be

Love manual, heartbroken there ain't no Manual option

I thought granny shifting was only needed on old gearboxes with no synchros?

No way this transmission is that old.

Forget where I read it. Did the Power Wagon come w/Stick?

A video I saw from the Chicago auto show said that the manual is only available on the 2019's if you have a Diesel. I can't remember if this was on the 2500 and 3500 or just the 3500 though.

No manuals in the diesels for 2019, only auto's. These are your choices...


  • 6.4L HEMI V8 : 410 hp / 429 lb-ft : 8-speed automatic ZF
  • 6.7L I6 Diesel : 370 hp / 850 lb-ft : 6-speed automatic 68RFE
  • 6.7L I6 Diesel : 400 hp / 1,000 lb-ft : 6-speed automatic AISIN
