Hill Descent Control for FX4
So is the 2011 FX4 getting hill descent control? This file says Hill Descent Control, but does not stipulate it being for the Raptor only this time.

Don't know if this will answer the question ... but, last week when I went up north for a weeks fishing in Muskoka, I hauled up my boat (12' on a utility trailer; upside down) and on the smaller roads leading into the cabin, I decided to use the tow/haul button on the shift handle. Turned this on as the roads are a bit steep, wet and covered with fallen leaves. There are bears as well a moose sitting on the roads ...
I used the brake to slow me down to ~50 km/h and I let go of the brake. The truck held that speed all the way down a few small hills. So I gather this is a form of Hill Descent Contol which is similar to the 2003 Land Rover Disco II SE-7 I had. It seems to work the same way in my limited experiance with my FX4 (had it since Sept 1).
Hope this helps.
