I’ve seen several discussions on manual versus automatic in off-roading. I’m no experienced off-roader myself so I’m not at all blaming the driver of the red 4-Runner. I could really feel his struggle 😳 I guess it is a matter of preference in the end, but my stand in the discussion got confirmed in this video, that automatic has an advantage over manual.
I feel the same way. Manuals do have there place if properly equipped with really low gears to slowly crawl, but autos have much more forgiveness and adaptability to the style of off-roading.
Manuals are at a gigantic disadvantage. That is just common wheeling knowledge. Anyone who is serious about rock crawling would never run a manual by choice. They all run auto transmissions. I feel like the idea that Manual is cooler or skill based is dumb. I would rather be safe and enjoy harder lines. Not worrying about stalling or using a rev limiter to keep the RPMS high.
Awesome and outstanding as always. Thanks for sharing and taking us along
love how you go last and just billy goat over everything.. haha
