After a 3/4 to full throttle run through a few gears, my 2021 SLT 6.2 seems to want to hold a gear after letting off the throttle. Sometimes it will downshift through each gear as I cost down the road, dropping RPMs each time. Sometimes it will just hold the gear and sit at maybe 4000 rpms, even as it slows down. Tapping the brake will cause the down shift, or at least the rpms to drop to under 2000. This is with the truck running in "normal" mode. Is this normal? I would normally expect the RPMs to drop right as I let me foot off the pedal.

Thanks.

I find it seems the harder the acceleration, and the quicker the easing off, the longer it holds before upshifting.

 

I don't know for sure the logic used, but have been figuring the computer wants to be sure that it's not just a pause in accelerating.  If it's just a pause for traffic or road condition before resuming hard acceleration it would be annoying to have it upshift and then need to downshift again. 

 

Less aggressive acceleration, less hang time and maybe also already in a higher gear as well.
