Auto vs. Standard?

Hello! I've decided to get a 4x4 regular cab tacoma, but am having trouble picking between manual and auto. I live in Wisconsin and I need to be able to navigate through rough winters. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

 

Personally I would say to get an automatic. I would not suggest a manual transmission unless you are driving a sports car.

 

Auto for off roading...

 

Auto for wheeling, not to mention It makes slightly better gas mileage

 

Not the 4 cylinder

 

pretty sure the 4x4 reg cab only come in 4cyl 5speed manual config...

 

My mistake, thanks for catching that.

 

Maybe you should check the responses on your exact thread from 2 hours earlier...http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/112970-auto-vs-standard.html

Or you could keep posting new threads on the exact same topic....why not, right?

 

One thing to count on here is the consistence of the same questions being posted, and re posted and posted and re posted....

 

Ding ding ding, you're gettin a stick.

 

i have a 4x4 reg cab tacoma in 5speed

i LOVE IT!
4wd is hard to control in tight turns with stick thats it.

 

That's true. However, the same person posting the exact same thread twice within two hours is a bit much.

 

I have a 2011 reg cab 4X4 auto and it is the only configuration that comes with bucket seats. Only way to go.

 

why do people ask these types of questions?!? youre the one thats gonna be driving it so why does it matter what other people tell you to drive?

 

Not to rag on the OP, and this is likely a hijack, but in general:

X2; That would reduce the volume of posts here by, probably, 75%.

 

Because people learn by asking questions, and the personal experiences of others are a vital source of information. That's why.

 

so basically youre saying that because someone else likes driving an auto over a manual, they should get an auto?. a person should drive what they feel comfertable driving. not what other people like.

 

No I'm saying that because others have experience with Toyota transmissions that the OP may not, he would appreciate some "advice" on what to watch out for, what's recommended, etc. Nothing wrong with that. Smart shopping if you ask me.

 

Or he could just be a DICK like you!!

 

Thats not really called for the other guy was just stating that he had already made this same thread and it has answers in there. There was no reason for a 2nd post with the same question when there are some responses in his first thread.
I think we can see who the dick is. Thanks for helping the op out with your comment, we all appreciate it.
