4 vs 5 spd auto on 1KD

Hi!

I'd like to buy an automatic 1kd prado (had a manual before), and can't decide between the 4 or the 5 spd box. (Europe)

Is the 4th on the 4 speed the same ratio as the 5th on the 5 speed? Also does the 4 spead have the same overdrive or whatever it's called, when it locks the TC - as the 5spds do - the feature that drops the revs when you ease on the throttle in 5th?

Which are more rubust / reliable?

Thanks in advance!

I believe the 1kd only came out in a 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual
