Pro and cons on auto vs manual hubs

[Bronco Rider73]

What’s the pros and cons auto hubs vs manual. I have considered swapping hubs on my 93 Bronco but on my 02 F250 I hate having to get out and lock the manuals in. Are the Autos that bad. On most of the new trucks they are push button. Opinions please

Autos are great, but I actually had a lot of problems with them. On a couple different vehicles actually. Skipping, sticking. You are in warmer weather so you probably didn't have ice problems, but half the time they would be frozen or the grease inside too stiff to allow them to engage when cold out.

Manuals are great because you know for sure what is going on.

My 1993 has the auto locking hubs. My drivers side went out on me

My 1996 has the manual hubs ..... and have never let me down.

Same with the push button 4WD

The more electronic crap .... the more failures
