Love traveling in the Rockies
Love this forum! Last 3 days in the mountains, my Axis 2016 F450 has worked flawlessly. No one was held up by me going up hill. 1-2 mile 16% grade.
Issue was down hill back on same road. Followed your instructions and other than being shocked at the RPM at one point could not feel any fade.
There is a 2 mile construction tear up on the road between port Alberni and Tofino. Coming back up the axis was a champ no one was held up going up. At the first opportunity I pulled over to let the cars go by.
Everyone waved or honked I almost had to stop to get most of them to pass.
A huge shout out to JamieGeek and others for sharing their expertise!!

2: Put it in tow-haul mode (press the button in on the end of the shifter). When in tow haul mode you just tap the brake pedal going down a hill and the transmission will downshift (then take your foot off the brake). If you feel you are still going too fast just tap the brake again and it will downshift again. Once on level ground pressing the gas pedal will return the transmission to normal operation (but still in tow-haul--tap the button again to turn it off). If the hill is still too steep for that then you'll have to occasionally use the brakes.[/QUOTE]
