10 Speed Transmission limit top gear in Drive

[WSKYMAN]

I have a 2024 GT PP and was looking to see if anyone has been able to limit the top gear when driving around town in drive?
I have a 2022 F-150 and while in drive I can use the +/- button to set/limit the truck to not go past a certain gear (7th) while driving around town. When I come to a stop the truck will shift down to 1st then work its way back up to 7th but not go any further. This is a nice feature when doing a lot of in town driving and keeps the truck in the sweet spot. I can use the +/- to increase the shifts up to 10th once I hit the interstate or it returns to 1st through 10th at the next start up, mind you this is all in drive not manual.
My Mustang will hold a gear while in drive for a short period of time while in drive using the paddle shifters but will return to up shift to 10th gear while in town driving which makes it "sluggish". Yes I can put it in manual and up shift to a certain gear and it will hold that until the next stop light then it shift to 1st and then I have to up shift again using the paddle shifters, its fun at first but after the 10th stop light a little annoying.
I have noticed that in sport mode, in drive it will hold 8th/9th a little longer but I live in a very hilly area and 6/7 is the ideal gear for the mustang,
And yes call me lazy but in the world of cars and technology, and the f-150 has spoiled me I want it all......

I think in non-performance-oriented cars, the paddle shifters will often work that way, as a "gear limiter" rather than manual control of the gear. At least in my old 2017 Camry it worked that way. Perhaps your F-150 does that too.

But in Mustangs it holds the specific gear you shift to (unless it has to downshift, but won't upshift again).

Put it in manual mode and drop to the gear you want to cruise in. In some of the tunes I do, folks ask me to limit sport or track mode to hold in 7th or 8th which is easy to do and you dont have to use the paddles, but thats part of tuning.

That will work to cruise but once i get to a stoplight/sign it drops back to first and i have to paddle shift it back up to 7th. I wonder is there a way to program in forscan where i can leave it in Drive and accomplish the top gear limitation????

Put it in track mode. It avoids 10th like the plague and will downshift faster than other modes when you need to accelerate

The s650 doesn’t do that. It will go into 10th in any mode.

Probably my whipple tune then, mine hates 10th in track
