How intersting... more country drivers have autos over manuals and more city drivers have manuals over autos.

If you live West of the city in WA... you have bigger problems than if your car is auto or manual.

I live in Gisborne and drive to Melbourne every day. Mostly freeway. I do 40k a year. Fact is, I also tow. Tandem with a small tractor on the back of my BA XR6 ute. About 2200kg. With my AUII XR6 ute i once had over two tonne on a tandem and 500kg plus on the tray. Not recomended with a manual according to Ford.
Steve PS, The BA is supposed to be better but I miss my AUII, I loved that car more. |
