Are there any 4-speeds these days, or do you still drive one
My 1984 F150 was a 4-speed, but functioned like a three speed except on the highway where I would use overdrive (4th).
But my next F150, a 1995, was a 5-speed. (Don't mind the distortion, it was taken with a fisheye lens.)

Does a dimwitted 4 speed auto count? Olie is pretty dim some times, but I primarily drive Clifford. It's all gravy.
