Hi All,
I have been looking for a manual 3ltr 03-05 Patrol for some time here in WA and they seem to be scarse. Most Patrols are auto. Am I looking for a manual for the wrong reasons. I thought manual is better for towing and offroad. I have a 03 Nissan Navara ST-R 3ltr, and could not be more happy with the performance but am now looking for a little more leg room in the back for the boys. Have been towing a Jayco Eagle Outback aroound for a few months now with no problems.
The question I have is why are most of the Patrols auto. Is auto better than manual. I have no experience with auto and would be grateful if someone can tell me if I am on the right path or not. I will be using the Patrol for some bush/beach work, but mainly for road towing. Most of the other 4x4 owners I know have manual, mostly Cruisers but I am more than happy to stay with Nissans, from experience.

Regards,

Chris
