Why in the world would the engineers of Toyota have your unit downshift
going downhill?
Something doesn't ring true here at all. Sounds like a problem to me.

So you wouldn't want your trans to shift down for you on a large downhill grade while towing a 10,000lb trailer????? I would!!!! This truck is designed to tow and haul heavy loads. The "decent control" is probably why it is shifting on a downhill grade.
Ever see those signs for semis on moutain passes that say..Trucks use lower gears???? That's because they are heavy and they can't hold back 80,0000lbs with the brakes alone so they need to use engine braking.
That is why the truck is designed to shift down on downhills. It's a heavy duty truck designed haul heavy loads.
