I have pull a pretty steep hill on the way home. I get on it a little to pull the hill steady. It goes into what I call "Passing Gear" and revs the RPMs. Then at the top I let off to slow down. It takes from around 70 mph to 55 mph to kick it back into the next gear and bring the RPMs back down. It is not a kick but is not as smooth as my 08 Frontier was.
Anyone experience this?
Is the 2010 trans different?
Is it a Suzuki "Trait"?
Thanks

I thought I'd do a little test with mine.
There is also a steep hill in my area, actually a ravine. At the bottom I was driving about 60 mph, as I went up the grade I floored it. I dropped down a gear (or two) and the revs went to about 5900 before it shifted up a gear. I backed off a bit on the gas and it stayed in the same gear until I went over the crest and on level ground then. At that time I was driving about 70 mph and RPM was around 2600. Once on the level ground it shifted up a gear (or half gear, is there such a thing?) and the RPM went to about 2400.
Floored it again, shifted down increased speed to 80 mph on level ground, backed off on accelerator and almost immediately shifted back up to cruising gear.
Transmission shifts seemed normal to me.
