So you'd rather put wear on your engine instead of the brakes?

I guess if it is recommended/ok on quarter of a million dollar piece of heavy equipment then it can't be that bad for my little Yota. Keep in mind that I still brake and keep the revs down to a moderate level. Hell, it even has the recommended shift points (up & down) in the owners manual.
