I use my manual hilux every day of road and would go to the auto in a heartbeat.
Things have changed alot.
We bought one of the first outlander with the cvt transmission.
I took it of road a few times in the mud.
Pretty impressive even with road tyres.

Yeah. I dont know what the real 4wd guys say but I think the auto puts the power through more smoothly. The truck's computer is a far bigger brain than my mine so Im happy to leave it to it.

I have been within a whisker on getting this recently but the clean fuel tax killed it. Pushed it outside what I was prepared to pay to trade up. https://www.toyota.co.nz/new-car/hil...DTG-NM1-040-25
