manual no questions. my dad has a ranger with a broken auto hub cracked a piece right in half. love my manual warn hubs. less wear plus if you really want you can run a spool up front for off roading and still use it as a daily driver.

But the best way to go so you can be lazy is drive flanges, heck I don't even have a shift lever on my tcase never have to worry about even shifting it into 4x4.

My 1997 Ranger was the first and only truck I had with auto hubs and I deeply regretted that fact the first time I went up an icy hill, had them fail 1/2 way up, and slid all the way back down and was stuck at the bottom of the hill in a rut.
The part in the owner's manual that states "not for farm use" really should state "not for off-road use at all".
