    As my DD and work truck, auto. And I've heard/seen that the toyota manual trans is not as strong. Friends FJ has always popped out of at least reverse and grinds once in a while and doesnt have high mileage. Sports car definitely would need manual.

    Auto, only because I'm forced to by "the man". My 4runner and Tundra don't have a manual option.

    Manual all day every day. I commute daily in Los Angeles and I don't mind it all, it's a little annoying in really bad stop/go traffic but honestly no more so than in an auto for me. I've been driving manual for so long it doesn't phase me.

    After better than 20 years of driving a manual, I got an auto this time around.

    I would have gotten the manual if I lived somewhere less congested; but the traffic just about makes me want to go postal anymore when I have to row through it.

    I'm probably the ONE GUY that likes the new auto though, it's great once you're used to how to use the different modes!

    Stuff and junk and things...
    The Taco is a manual, great theft deterrent.

    5th gen T4R is an auto, the kick down programing sucks horribly.

    My 3rd gen 6.7 Cummins with the 6 speed auto it great. Toss in the factory exhaust brake and the lock up converter it will slow 20K very well.
