Now don't everybody jump at once!

Seems like a fair price, but that stick shfit makes it less desirable
than an automatic as a light duty tow rig.
As we used to say in the car biz; "There's a butt for every seat."
Hope you find the right prospect.

My thoughts are just the opposite. The first gear in this thing is a
'granny'...very low. I start, as per the book, in second gear, unless I'm
towing a load. The manual trans allows me to play the clutch and get
traction, even when the 4WD automatics are sliding into ditches during some
snow.

I wish I could have gotten the 4Runner with a manual trans.
