Auto or manual?

Wish i had a 6 speed. Only put a truck in gear 6 once in my life haha.

 

Manuals the way to go if you dont want other family members to drive it. Autos are nice too though.

 

thats what she said

 

HAHA true that!

 

5spd with URD short shifter...I smile with every shift

 

I have the auto. Wish I went with the manual. This auto is one of the worst (newer autos) I've driven. My 2001 auto was much much better.

 

Better wheel'n with a stick

 

my 2010 is a automagic, first automatic automobile i have ever owned.. and let me just say its so nice when in traffic.

i drove a manual tacoma 05+ for the first time recently, i'm not sure i would ever be able to get used to the position of reverse. took me like 3 minutes to find it!

 

6 speed manual.
More control over the vehicle and fun to drive even in heavy traffic. I don't eat, drink, read, yak on the cell phone or any other distractions while driving so it's no big deal.

 

fun until you get rear ended. but as a 6 spd owner i do that all the time too ha

 

6 speed all the way!!!

 

6 speed here, my last truck was an automatic, and I hated every minute of it. Nice being able to do multiple things, IE starting off from a stop going into a turn while on the cell phone. It was just so boring though, didn't feel like I was actually driving the truck, more just along for the ride. Also, now that I can't talk and drive without it being hands free, I would like to say it keeps me paying more attention to the road.

 

Tacoma was the first automatic I've owned. I was kinda skeptical at first but not anymore: Toyotas auto trans technology is up to par and gets better gas mileage than a manual and is no longer 'less reliable' than a manual. I don't miss shifing at all.

I'd say both are equal. At this stage in auto technology it's just a matter of preference IMO.

 

Auto on my taco, manuel on my YJ

 

Auto for my 2010 Tacoma. My old Tacoma (98) was manual shift, but since I use my truck for my business a lot, I kinda like having to drive with one hand, and a cup of coffee in the other. Plus dealing with occasional gridlock traffic, a manual shift was getting old.

 

5spd manual

 

anyone want to let me drive there 6 speed? haha

 

I drove an awefulmatic when I first learned to drive. Then my first car was an awefulmatic. Then I bought this clanky-econobox with a stick shift in it... and now am wondering why the hell I didn't drive stick before now. When I finally scrape the down payment together for the taco it will deffinitly have a stick in her.
