2021 Tacoma Manual owner here (one of the reasons I got it). Gladiators and Broncos are also available with a manual!

For the Tacoma, you made a good decision. The auto in that thing is the single worst programmed automatic transmission I have ever encountered. But that doesn't just automatically apply to all OEM's. There are plenty of autos that are great & responsive. Fords 10 speeds are quite good.

And you only got rid of 1 of the dozens of computerized components in your drive train. Your engine, transfer case, rear differential, and hubs are all computerized

What about your steering, braking, and throttle controls?

Throttle is drive by wire, brakes are hydraulic (as is the clutch), and steering is hydraulic.

That said, I'm not railing against computers in the car, I'm mostly saying I like manually shifting my gears.

Throttle is definitely computerized.
