Limiteds were never available with a manual trans. You could order leather as an option on an SR5, so that is likely what you saw.

They are having issues with tires cracking too. Seems to be different brands too.

Let the questions fly if you have any. Mine has every option found on the limited except the Auto. The chick that bought it wanted it that way. That's cool with me.

Ive driven 3rd gens with the auto and they are maybe 30% quicker than my 3.0 auto (I refuse to wheel with a manual) I was kinda disapointed. So im going to have to look at the manuals, plus I love driving manuals on the road.

The best bang for the buck is definately the supercharger.
