They all have automatic transmissions.
If you are not pulling a toad just drive it. When going downhill you can put it in Tow/Haul (tap the button at the end of the shifter) and then you can just tap the brakes to get it to downshift--don't worry about it redlining: the computer will prevent any damage to the engine.
Once back on level or ascending you can take it out of tow haul.
The engine/trans are pretty bulletproof so no need to baby it (they've both been built by Ford for a long time).
