Eco boost and downshifting for grades
Will the Eco boost being a 6 cyl vs a V8 have any impact on using the tranny to control our descent down steep grades?

I just did 6k miles this summer through several passes in Colorado. I have only 4k pounds of trailer. Down the steeper passes, I would downshift to 1st or 2nd and travel less than 30mph. I probably could have gone faster and used brake more, but the reality is that it was less than 2-3% of our trip. Perfect, no...but hardly a problem.
