In Colorado there is a 10 mile stretch of 7% grade highway on I-70 Between Silverthorne and the top of the Continental Divide. My auto HB will do 70+ mph climbing. The car will up and downshift a dozen times during the climb. On a 5% grade the car doesn’t need to downshift. If the grade isn’t too steep and length of the climb isn’t too long I would leave it in 4th and let the car pick the gear it needs.
