I've started on the hunt for a nearly new swb Shogun commercial 4x4 and I'm torn between a manual or automatic, had a drive of a 14 plate auto at the weekend and definitely liked it but should I be ruling out a manual as that's what I've always had?
Are the manuals geared too high for pulling away when towing? And are the autos not as good as the impression I got?

auto, modern high powered (more high torque) dervs are to harsh on clutches auto box delivers it smoother. Ive driven both (all be it 2012) and the auto was much nicer
