I bought a 2018 runout special 2wd auto.
I test drove the manual and the auto......honestly I wouldnt recommend the manual if you live in town or anywhere with tight 50zones
That said the hilux is no better in that resect.
Its great, I take great pleasure in overtaking wildtracks going uphill.
Its a bit laggy off the line but having a auto and stalling it up gives wicked holeshots into traffic, electronic egr delete gets rid of half of the lag..
Its quiet and fast and safe and economic to run and maitain.
Things that annoy me.
Passenger seat seat belt rattles against b pilar every time a passenger gets out untill I lean accross and flip the buckle around.
Cup holders are a joke but the water bottle holders in the doors are great!
Worst of all this is my major gripe.
If you are between 5 and 7 foot tall you cannot see left while turning left.
Some fucktard put the rear veiw mirror low in the windscreen right in your feild of veiw turning left.....I realise the rest of the world doesn't have any corners in thier roads but its a shit.....I have to duck down to see where I am going on hills.
Other than that I love it. Its the best value 2 or 4wd on the market.
