Really now, if you cannot discern the diff tween boats and politics,
how can anyone take him seriously about either?
So, for towing the Tolman, it is looking like a Nissan Frontier. The
Tacoma is a little more expensive and I have had good luck with
Nissan. Now, I am trying to find one with a crew cab AND long bed,
not sure they exist.
I like manual shift but is there any reason for them anymore? In the
very long run, I still think a manual shift will outlast an automatic
and I can replace a clutch.
If I were to trade in my 4Runner for a new one, I'd go back to manual, even
if I had to buy a different breed. I like being able to shift when I want
to. I don't like the auto dropping into another gear any time it starts
climbing a hill, while towing. Using the cruise control, with an automatic,
while towing is a waste. The damn thing is shifting continuously, so cruise
control can't be used.
Yup, manual is the way to go.
