Driving from Denver to Buena Vista with elevation topping out at 10,039ft, my ecoboost did great. Maintained the posted 65mph speed limit without a problem. I lock out 6th when I tow and truck only shifted down to 4th on the steepest of climbs.
Why do you lock out 6th when you tow?
I am in "D" 98% of the time when towing, and find that the transmission programming does a great job of avoiding unnecessary shifting. We can move down the road in 6th gear, 1800 rpms anywhere but going up a 3%+ grade, as long as we can keep the speed at 65 or above.
