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?

When I was a on the road driver, we had a saying,, never go down a hill any faster than you went up ..
That being said,, I have seen some idiots go up hill trying to and sometimes achieving burning up the engine./transmission. Way too fast and or going up the hill only to the burn out the brakes on the way down .. :S
5% grades 45 miles per, any more less speed. P And S Plain and simple.
I think that's good advice.
Way too many think you just keep it floorboarded up hills and many vehicles are basically idiot proof in that regard.
I'm able to climb hills at highway speeds comfortably but I slow to much lower speeds to come back down.
