Manual gearbox, triangle vent windows, engine bay room, repairability, bench seats.

I would argue that the first couple of these could be considered "features." Not sure what you mean about the bench seat - the "regular cab" configuration is a 3 person bench.

Yes, utilitarian features. A manual gearbox is simpler than an automatic.
