    Manuals aren’t good for crawling? I’d have to disagree with that :confused:

    It's true, if you can't drive a manual.

    Love my 3rd pedal!

    theyre terrible burn your whole clutch in a day, only way a manual is good for crawling is if its geared SO LOW, like my dads old f250 i could get off it put it in 1st and walk next to it

    The fact that it’s a 4 cyl means 28k is way high

    It takes more skill than an auto but many people manage just fine.

    I dont blame you. I intentionally seemed out a 2nd gen. Went from a 1995 to a 2015 tacoma last year.. still happy and I also kept first gen (luckily). Plus I don't like the look of the third gens. Good luck with the hunt and don't settle to much. Know what you want and go for it

    I drive an auto because I’m lazy but to say a manual is terrible for wheeling probably has more to do with your skills than the trucks abilities

    Based off your presence here and the posts and threads of yours that I’ve seen I’m guessing that you don’t have a lot of experience with all this truck stuff and are just repeating things you heard other people say to try and sound knowledgeable.

    Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them and most of them stink. What doesn’t work for you works great for some other guy.

    I’m not sure why you felt the need to come in and offer your ‘wisdom’. OP is on the hunt for a fresher truck and prefers a manual, nowhere did they say it was for ‘crawling’.

    Well, I for one have a manual. The manual that came with the truck with 130k miles and counting on it. You’re right though, if you burn through a clutch in a whole day then I’d say yes, you should stick to an auto.

    So true. A 3rd gener burnt up his clutch on a simple trail. Unfortunately, the video was deleted.

    It must suck to be poor, hopefully your landscaping business picks up and you can afford a better truck
