Are these as impossible to find as it seems? I want a 99+ 2wd extended cab truck with a V8 and a manual. So far I've found about 10 for sale in the entire US (most out of my price range) and none within 1000 miles of me. Ugh!

Can anyone tell me what the tow rating is for a truck with a 4.8 and a manual? I want to get something I can tow a camping trailer with, but doesn't suck down gas while performing DD duty. I can consistently get over EPA ratings when I drive a manual, and I like rowing my own gears, so I'd rather not get an auto.
