"Maybe I could learn how to be truck driver. Mav, do you have the number of that truck driving school we saw on TV, Truck Master I think it is? I might need that."

No 4WD on dry pavement, I wouldn’t use it on wet pavement or firm gravel either.

With an auto trans you can leave it in ‘manual’ 1st or 1st/2nd position. That would provide some ‘engine braking’.

With a manual trans, use the gear that makes sense.

I just use my regenerative braking, maybe B5 or B4

Close, Sonora Pass. Going up for fishing but then gotta come back down. I’ve done it once before, many years ago when I was young and dumb. I remember very pronounced brake fade.
