I wouldn’t tow with anything but a manual. Most auto’s just aren’t built to handle towing for whatever reason, probably to save on costs. Both my tow rigs are good 'ol “granny” 4 speeds. Never had an issue with either of them. I haven’t wiped out a clutch yet either in over 200,000 miles of driving/towing. The only reason I had one of them apart was to replace a worn out pilot bearing. Just my .02 on the towing subject…
The only auto’s I ever owned were my circle track racecar and my POS beater Neon. I’d rather the Neon was a manual, but the price was right, so I picked it up.
My Willys is the real test of driving a manual well… 16 forward gears, 4 reverse.
Ever tried putting a heavy boat back on a trailer and then pulling it out of the water? Having to hold the e-brake, give it gas and go every single time you pull a large boat out of the water would suck.
