The review of the Trailhawk version by C&D mentioned that in all their testing of the vehicle, it was noted to have never reached the 9th gear. The only way they were able to get it in 9th was to force it in...sounds like leaving that 9th gear open as a manual option (???) if out on the open flat lands with light winds in cruise. Interesting.
Seems kind of pointless to redesign a transmission just to add a gear that will hardly ever be used. Must be some reason. Wonder what it was.
