Default Re: Auto or 5 Speed

The crawl ratio on the stick is what sold me because I was buying this truck primarily for its off road ability. It is also true, being under powered, the manual helps you get a move on when you need to. As for steep hills, the low range manual will idle up or down any hill at a snail pace, so no problem with foot work on the pedals, just let out the clutch and the brake at the same time, you don't even need to touch the gas and the truck starts idleing up the hill or down, slow, safe and controlled!
