Thread: New Hilux auto vs manual

It's not the box - it's the clutch they are trying to protect. Also the manual is only available in base line models.

Toyota do have a history with clutch replacements with the hiluxs, although rumor has it that most of the modern drivers only think they can drive a manual box. As far as availability, you'll be waiting at least June for an auto version and probably more depending on model as I hear - although they have manuals in the bottom spec only needing a tray or deck added on the lots now.
