Forum:
Does anyone know if Daihastu ever made a 4WD with an automatic gearbox? If so, what & when, and has anyone got one for sale?
Also, did they ever produce an MPV-style vehicle along the lines of Delicas/Townaces, etc, but a little smaller? I could swear I've seen something like that about, somewhere...
To some folks, an automatic gearbox in a 4X4 might seem sacriligious, or just a plain waste of time, but as I'm a high mileage engineer/driver, I'm getting a bit crocky with my knees & hips, so I'm looking to ease my Sportrak over to an auto, either by trading-in, or even converting, if possible/necessary.
Any info/advice most welcome!
Only thing I've heard of is
Only thing I've heard of is the American Rocky (I belive). It's a Sporti with a 2ltr engine and an auto box (if that's right I WANT one). I would imagine it makes a brilliant little off roader. Auto is better for off road and towing in my oppinion. Just the fule consumption that tends to hurt. My wife has a Delica. With auto box and LSD in the back it will chuge over some terain on mud and snow tyre which my Sporti makes a meal of in her agresive off road shoes.
