Go the Auto.....

I have only had manual 4x4s, but the current autos make wheeling easier

It's just the declines that take practice.

For what it's worth, there is a particular technique for descending steep hills you should use when driving an auto. It is called "driving through the brakes" you should learn about it and master it if you drive an auto rather than "feathering the brake".
You can also buy toque converter lockouts than give you much closer to 1:1 engine braking in an auto.

BTW I drive a manual. The only way to 'wheel.....


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

If this car is strictly for 4x4 and not your daily. then get a manual

But if its your daily , you should weight up which transmission you rather be driving the rest of the time when you're not offroad

Really depends if you live out in the country or in the city . My last manual was my hilux , stopping and starting during city traffic sucked.

Be a lot different if I was in the country with open roads

I heard from a guy years ago to load up the torque convertor before decending, he used it with great success.
Drove my last manual for 350,000 plus k. Loving the Auto, turn key drive sooooo easy, no driver input required doh

Have to disagree mate, I don't mind driving a manual in traffic (not that we get much here haha) but I wouldn't drive anything but an auto when the going gets rough, steep, slippery, technical
