How to Drive Uphill and downhill
I have Ford E350 2015 model - I am just wondering if you have to shift to lower gear manually or expect the transmission to do it for you automatically?

CoNi (the OP),
Your 2015 Ford E350 has a "Tow/Haul" button on the end of it's gear shift lever.
When going uphill or downhill, push in this button to put your transmission INTO Tow/Haul mode. Going uphill your transmission will then be kept in better gears for the uphill climb. Going downhill, it will drop down to a lower gear each time you tap the brake with your foot - no need to change the gears manually using the shift lever.
Just as a side comment: I drive our Class C motorhome almost all the time, now, with it's Tow/Haul mode ENGAGED. It drives a lot better overall in all conditions with Tow/Haul mode turned on.
