How is this specific to 4Runner and Sequoia? FWIW, it's good a practice to downshift going uphill too...otherwise if you have to lift off the throttle for any reason the transmission will upshift, then when you get back into the throttle it will downshift again. If you select the lower gear it will stay there and your lag time to power is less.
The debate is on a forum among owners of Toyota Sequoia and 4Runner.
Not sure, nor part of the debate whether other trucks have these features and capabilities -- which are effectively auto and manual shifting modes.
But you do have a point although I assume that the shift to lower gear is just to regain momentum and maintain previous pace or speed (not going any faster for the gear to get to higher gear).
