Play with the settings to see what you are comfortable with but you aren't hurting anything allowing the tranny to downshift.....certainly not "pushing things to the limit". For me:
- I use Tow haul when towing and hauling
- I use the EB on Auto.......actually most of the time even when empty, it seems to eliminate the skip shift and I concur with the previous poster that mentioned it's probably good for the turbo to be exercised.
- I routinely lock out 10th.....sometimes 9th too. I have 3.55's

I will say, the Ford EB is not as impressive as the Dodge, I went from a 2015 3500 Ram to a 2022 F550, granted, the truck itself is heavier so factor that in, I have found to get the best out if it, the R's have to be in the upper range. Never liked the Auto setting in either, I want it On all the time.
On occasion I'll push it on to the auto mode while driving around town just to exercise the vanes.....

So since I don't know exactly how the Ford EB works, does it work differently with the vanes in the turbo from Auto to ON..?
