you get a sig. lighter and an ashtray with the lung cancer package.

As for the "auto vs manual" this subject has been talked about a ton!

The manual has a lower crawl ratio. As for resale value and if you are in a ton of traffic, IMO, go with the auto.

What have you had in the past?

Sorts cars don't count!

And keep in mind the trailing towing capacity (4500 vs. 3000 lbs.), will be different for each.

stick any day of the week.... won't see me drivin an auto... personal preference but the stick is a heck of a lot funner.... jsut wish it had a 6th gear for highspeed interstate drivin.... i also prefer a manual in offroad scenarios

[f5fstop]

Prefer auto for off-roading, have had my share of manuals for off-roading, and easier to crawl rocks and get out of sand; don't have to ride a cluch. But it is all personal preference.

[nmikes]

something else to thinkg about... since the auto has higher towing capacity it might seem better if you are totally going to set your vehicle up for off road. Case in point my rig...

GOBI rack 90lbs
UC and rocker protection 130 lbs.
winch 100 lbs someday soon
lift and 35's ???
other recovery stuff like a chains hi-lift jack ???

point is the weight starts adding up.
