The last thing I want to be doing when I hit a slick patch is reaching for the transfer case stick to select 4wd (assuming you can even engage 4wd at 70 mph). Thus, I want the full time 4wd.

Still wish I could get that with the auto though.....

I just test drove an FJ, and I liked it a lot. I hope demand slacks off and supply picks up at the end of the year.
How many times are you going to be shifting on the freeway anyway? Automatics are for soccer moms. Get the manual.
