Actually, I thought the 2wd Rodeos came with 4.56s, and I think they were all 4 cyl.

Like everyone said, autos have their good points, and so does manual. Here's a big one for me-
new clutch for manual tranny= 250 for clutch, 300-400 install
Automatic rebuild= 2000+ <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Yah automatics will give you good crawl ability without stalling, but I think teralows will even out the stick. Go ahead and try it out, see how you like it, at least.
