Don’t have any problems going downhill. The Ford cruise control seems to find gears that shouldn’t be there. At least they got something right.
Tried the 6.2 % grade, started at 75 mph. In less than a mile speed dropped to 53 with the gas pedal jammed to the floor. Same results on three similar hills. Worst part is if you get stuck behind a slower vehicle and get slowed to 40 mph the MH will not accelerate above that speed until you get off the hill.
I’m waiting for a response from the local performance shop who is looking into doing the performance upgrade to the V10. They are a trusted outfit but have only done diesel upgrades. I may be the “test” vehicle for their expansion project.
