My camper hauler F-3fitty has the 6R140(? same trans as the F-350 diesels) 6 speed behind a 6.2 gasohol engine.
It learns your driving habits. It has tow haul - and does all the tow haul things nicely.
But it also has the handy manual mode. It will hold the gear you put it in like a manual. You can limit what top gear you want. You can back out of the throttle climbing an icy hill to make it without an unplanned downshift. You can hold low gears off road. You can grade brake down hill at gentler rpm if you want.
I also learned in a Ford forum you can set the cruse control to the speed you want to got down hill with. The trans & engine in the diesels and it will hold that speed. I have tried it and it does work, RMP more that normal but not red lined. The truck ECM & TCM will not let the rig over rev. I assume the same would work in a gas rig, test on some smaller hills and see how it does. I did and it works with the 6.7.
