How many gears are available when you switch it into manual mode with the 10 spd auto?

I have never owned an auto as a primary vehicle, and I use alot of engine braking with my 6spd tacoma . Some autos I have driven in the past seem to be lacking when it comes to switching to manual or 'sport' mode . The 4runner we used to have had a sport mode but it only had 4 set gears out of the 5spd. The gears were either to high or low to engine brake on the freeway or down steep mtn passes.

Anyone with 10-spd experience? Can you select/ lock out all 10 gears?

I don't know if it would, I've driven two different ford 8 speeds (edge and escape) and it would never let me get past 6, but maybe I wasn't going fast enough? (55mph)

I’m assuming it is like my super duty. Left in drive you can lock out gears and the tranny will take care of everything up to those gears. In manual mode it will be completely on the driver for shifting up in gears.

Never tried 9 or 10 but prolly do it. Usually I only use the M modes for engine braking option for steep grades

Google tells me the 10R80 trans has 3 overdrives, so I'd guess up to 7 in manual mode.
