4wd to tow my boat

[fishingguru]

just looking at peoples opinions on this, im looking for a 4wd ute mainly for towing the boat and occaisional recreational activities, im looking at something between 2007-2010, is it best to have an auto? I heard you can burn the clutch out quickly? my top pics are the bt50 n dmax, any other opinions?

there's no problem with autos for 4x4 as they have sports gears means the same as manual. Don't worry about burning out furphies I used a Pajero auto for years and never had a problem now I've got a Colorado Ute as they are better on fuel than the older models look for a diesel too.

i have a 2010 ford ranger manual and cant fault it. same ute as the bt50. i tow the boat a fair bit and never had any clutch problems. i live at glass house mtns and am out in the forestry a fair bit and cant fault it out there either.

the bt50s have some serious grunt and are a very nice drive, that good in fact the father in law has a 2011 single cab and a 2013 dual cab!
