more dangerous to go down a steep grade in a ten speed, or an automatic, or autoshift?

If you know how to drive the truck, it does not matter how the truck is spec'ed out.

And if you keep all the truck's components in proper operating condition.

Automatic and Autoshift are the same thing. :wink: Your prolly thinking about the tranny that can do both Automatic or Manual by flipping a switch.

[worldisnotenough]

both are dangerous, if you are going real fast! :wink:

Ten-speed, fifteen-speed, eighteen-speed, autoshift... They're all about the same. Danger is determined by just how loose the nut is behind the wheel.

Remember that the autoshift also has a manual setting. I guess if it failed you would be screwed.
