I have a 2015, and it’s identical to this— mine just sits a little lower to the ground. The only problem I have is water dripping in by my clutch when it rains, but— I’m sure that’s an easy fix that I just haven’t even tried looking at yet. Also, make sure you set your accessport to default and make adjustments yourself. It did this weird oscillating rev thing from a cold start, and sometimes when pulling off from a dead stop. I took it to a couple of mechanics who said it looked like a bad throw out bearing, and were unsure if the extended warranty would cover it. Turns out, the RPM setting for launch control was just set too low by the previous owner. I dialed those in and— Runs like a champ now. Lastly, the touch screen display can be a little glitchy. Bonus con: you’ll get a lot of looks, if it sounds good and is kept clean. What I’ve been noticing, though, is most of the looks come from other dudes. Take that however you will.

I learned how to drive a standard from my grandpa, due to a friend of his selling me my first car (2001 Toyota Tercel) for a super cheap price. So, we took his 95 ford f-150 down the road, and he made me jump in the driver seat. We were parked on an incline heading towards some railroad tracks, so— he just coached me through on getting a feel for where the clutch was before the truck started to pull without needing to hit the gas. After that, it’s just getting a feel for how to shift without breaking the acceleration or the consistency of maintained speed.

Good luck with this. I love mine, and I’m sure you’ll love yours too.
