It worked really well on both types of vehicles for everyone over the three or four days and seemed like a way of getting mobile back up hill while removing the risk of rolling backwards.
Thats what we were taught in the 4wd course I did......... doesn't quite work in an auto though lol

Talking of autos and their ability of not stalling, whats the point of the hand throttle?
