Sequential mode for automatic transmission?

[clyde]

Does anyone know if the automatic transmission will have a sequential mode allowing to upshift or downshift?

Yes and the ability to lock out gears.

100% speculation, i would imagine there will be that option in the auto transmission (is something very relevant these days on other vehicles).

I saw a plus and minus buttons on the shift lever, I wonder if perhaps that could be it.

PS: i will miss the paddle shifting i currently have on my vehicle, i don't used them that much but when i need shifting on the fly, they are very very handy!

The 10-speed in the Raptor does. Manual mode completely sucks. The time delay for shifts is ridiculously long. You have to plan your upshifts well in advance or you will hit the rev limiter. The first three gears are very low and close together. Even just normal driving pulling away from a stop you will hit the rev limiter before you can shift.

I primarily would use it to brake on the engine in mountainous terrain.

I have max tow on my F150 so that will do engine braking without putting it in manual mode. I do use manual mode on steep declines so not to use the brakes outside towing. I think it will be utilized a bunch off roading IMO. The A10 trans is plan bad ass and its going to have some other modes for off road on the Bronco.

Tow/Haul mode also works well for this.
