manual man thru and thru seen some bargains over the years but alas they were auto who wants a bloody auto no good for a serious 4x4 since hurting my back and now having tyo wear an orthotic brace auto would be the way to go and was looking for one but found a cheap manual (maverick) so thats it but now days the autos especially in diesal are just as good if not better than manuals ask the pros and you can add jake brakes to them they change gear themselves where if your dare on a long climb look out there is a lot more to it than meets the eye and they are heavy duty basically truck boxes in car .

Hi Guys,
Ended up going for the Auto, I started another thread and the majority was AUTO by far, here's a link:

Welcome, Ive got one of both and i would rather drive the Auto even in extreme 4x4 mode as you have more control for the power. The only downfall is steep descents but closing eyes helps here.... :-)
