I'm 2000km into my new '24 R. Two road trips on mountain highways so far.


The transmission is not downshifting in Sport or Tow modes unless I manually downshift gears or give it some gas.

It is like the automatic downshift for engine braking is disabled.

I was towing a car trailer last weekend and was continuously on the brakes or manually downshifting.


First pic from this morning: Downhill, hard on the brakes, in Tow Mode. The transmission is in 8th gear and does not gear down.


The second picture shows the truck going downhill through a corner, hard on the brakes, in Sport Mode. The transmission is still in 10th gear!!!


Is this a programming issue, or did Ford disable engine braking while the motor is in break-in?


I don't remember my '19 or '22 behaving like this while new.
