The old manual v auto towing debate.

10 years ago I was firmly in the manual camp. If using an older Cruiser or Nissan etc, or up to about 2010 ute of any brand then I still would be. However, auto's have come a long way with way better engine breaking and reliability. Choosing now would come down to other features the vehicle had and probably not the transmission.
