    Is a manual or auto ute better for touring with a caravan?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota HiLux Toyota HiLux Advice Toyota HiLux 2006 Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Navara Nissan Navara Advice Nissan Navara 2006
    WE ARE thinking of changing to a Toyota Hilux or Nissan Navara 3.0-litre turbo-diesel. Would you suggest an auto or manual, and what consumption can we expect? We intend touring with a caravan and want the most economical method.

    The manual will give you about 10 per cent better fuel consumption than the auto. I would expect you would get about 9 litres/100km on the highway without a caravan, but that would probably increase to 14-15 litres/100km when the caravan is on the back. The Hilux and Navara have similar fuel consumption. But I have concerns about the reliability of Nissan's 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine so can't recommend the Navara.
