From my experience, it will down shift to 3rd and stay there. Empty the truck will still pull from a stop in 3rd but it's sluggish.

Raptor wheel and M mode is pretty awesome on a 6.2 Super Duty.
I use it all the time.

My only dislike of this '19 and my previous SD '04 was the transmission shift strategies.
When I get to shift it when I want I love everything about it (and the Raptor wheel makes that almost fun).

I like to control the shift points and in City/Suburbia driving I'm not on the binders as much when coming to a stop
and automatically goes back to 1st gear. If you hit the + to like 3 or 4 that is as far as it will up shift to however
it's a quick shift.

My 6.2 W/3.73 @ 30mph it's running 1850 RPM's in 3rd gear.

I got a tune from 5 Star huge difference like driving a entirely different truck. The tune is mostly tranny changes not much they can do with those engines.
