Just wondering if anyone has the new 6 speed and has any experience with this ?


Thanks !
Yes, when you engage the "tow/haul" button on the end of the gear selector. Going downhill, you just briefly tap on the brake and it will take it to the next lower gear. I have used it several times and I really appreciate not having to ride the brakes.
