    What’s better | Automatic vs Manual 4WD transmission.

    It's whatever you have got -- it's the best as long as it's not broken, and has you moving forward and in reverse -- I went manual to be a little simpler out in the bush, regardless I still have far too much electronics even with my manual ;)
