The D-MAX Single Cab range offers both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions, and the choice depends on how you work the vehicle.

• The 1.9 DDI LR 4X2, 1.9 DDI HR 4X2, and 1.9 DDI HR L 4X4 are manual.
• The 1.9 DDI HR L A/T 4X2, 1.9 DDI L A/T 4X4, and 3.0 DDI L A/T 4X4 are automatic.

The manual models use gearing suited to controlled, practical driving, while the automatic options offer easier operation in traffic and during stop-start work.

Gear ratios also differ between the manual and automatic boxes, which affects driving feel and load response.

If you want a simpler, more relaxed drive for busy routes, the automatic is appealing.

If you prefer direct control and potentially lower complexity, the manual remains a strong work-focused choice.
