That is a nice feature. Good automatic transmissions from many other makers do the same thing, makes you wonder why no one though of it sooner.

The 6 speed in the Tundra does the same thing, even going down long grades (which we have plenty of around my part of the country) the tranny will downshift to hold a speed when the cruise is on. I can also manually select the gear I wish to be in, but so far the transmission control unit is pretty much Jonny-on-the-sopt and I don't feel the need to.

 

Remember, I feel safer in a Ford..I can not trust a Tundra

 

I feel safe in just about anything. Toyotas haven't let me down yet, and neither have Ford truck/truck based vehicles. Ford cars on the otherhand.... not so good a history for me and my family.

 

I've always had great service from Ford cars.

 

The tranny in my 97 Jetta does it also. Felt wierd the first time i drove it. I was used to coasting in OD in the Superduty.

 

The Allison does this as well. But I do know guys that really hate this in the winter.

 

Ice covered roads could be deadly.

 

Could be deadly no matter what you drive

 

Same here....

 

have you got pictures of that rusty chevy yet.....
