While I agree with the sentiment Baitable, unless you drop some fairly serious coin with someone like Wholesale Automatics, they aren't available as autos. I suspect if they had dropped a decent 6 speed auto in them as an option, the sales would have been a lot higher - despite the lack of creature comforts

I hear an auto is coming. My mech did the marks auto box kit for his. What they really need is a chassis extension or a tray chop to get the tow ball back within cooee of the rear axle. The geometry punishes them as an otherwise great tow truck.

I'm seriously looking at a new tow vehicle to take me through to retirement (10-15 yrs) its been a while since I've bought a new vehicle and my ability to talk to car sales men is not what it use to be. ( I tend to call spades -spades and dickheads well you get the picture) My priority is reliability enconomy and the ability to tow comfortably ( my boat is about 1500kg loaded) This one must be an auto as the wifey intends to share driving duties on the odd occasion (and i'm an old fart now) I have 2wd hilux atm and would consider one of the new "hi Ryder" type 2wd's but I am fond of the idea of doing some light off road work. Big decision ($$) for me I can't afford to get it wrong.

Any real world thoughts on some of the turbo diesel / auto utes out at the moment? any that you would not recommend and why?

Thanks BigE
