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?

Let me say as an EcoBoost owner with two years of towing up and down the passes
This truck is amazing. The built in two haul mode mates the truck and trailer into one vehicle like I have never seen before. It will down shift when needed and I have rarely needed to touch my brakes. Just got back from the Canadian Rockies went to Banff and Jasper and had a great time truck handled it flawlessly in 96 -100 degree weather.
My loaded trailer weight is 5,560 LB I averaged 13 MPGs.
