Problem with some autoshifts, when you start to spin your wheels they grab another gear thinking your going faster.we had one of the 1st autoshifts on a location trying to climb "empty" up a short but steep grade hill with no real run at it. He finally had to get pulled up. They have theyre place but not in the field imho. Highway sure
Theres a manual mode in the I Shifts..not sure about any of the others...in that mode you make the shift when you want. There's a learning curve with these rigs just like there is with anything new. The biggest problem with most newer trucks in winter driving is abs/traction control...starts to apply wheel brakes when slippage is sensed and also limits engine rpm when slippage is sensed.
