Auto Vs Manual
Auto transmission is generally better for towing than manual. It is much easier on the drive train without having the savage clutch action when you are manoeuvring a trailer in difficult places. Much easier in traffic. I notice that I get away from the lights much quicker than a manual.
I have noted that in rocky conditions (solo) an auto is much smoother transversing difficult patches. When in sand it is easy to dig yourself in if you use too low a ratio gear. Having an auto provides smoother power there.

Sorry mate i tend to differ from that as in 2006 we were in the simpson with 2 other autos( all 3lts, not D40 thou ) and guess who had to pull them out, yep the 3.0lt manual. I think the only good thing about the auto is the city driving, yep manuals can be a PITA sometimes, but out back i still prefer the manual.
Just my opinion.
