I am no off-road expert but maybe a manual would be better for you!
If you do any serious work in a hot climate the transmission cooling system may not be able to cope very well.
But what the heck do I know
My own LC is an auto and I would not have anything else |

A friend of mine offroads with an auto RRover but prior to that had a manual Frontera. He says that he didn't feel that the levels of control were quite the same with an auto. I've always used manual so I can't say.

Just bought an 80 Auto. Also have a bobtailed Discovery Auto for offroad and a manual L200 for work (forestry, so mainly off road and load lugging). Given the choice I'd go auto all the time. Purely my opinion but, higher fuel consumption aside, you can't beat em. G |
