Subaru’s Crazy Manual Transmission Pickup With STI Power Is An Absolute Bargain

Pick-up trucks are what keep America moving. Whether they are hauling haybales or livestock, tools or jet skis, these utilitarian machines are the modern day equivalent of the coach and horses. With myriad options, from gas V8s to torquey diesels that could pull a tree out of the ground, there is a pick-up for everyone.
