How to Drive Uphill With a Manual Transmission

  1. Stop at a stop light or sign while going uphill.

What’s the best speed to drive uphill?

Downshift to first at a speed of 10 to 15 mph (about 15 to 25 kph). Downshift promptly if you’re climbing the hill and start to lose speed. Third gear should be fine for moderately hilly terrain.

Does the V6 get noticeably better MPG than the larger V8?

Is there a V6 in a Chevy Express Cargo Van?

The driver is able to set the descend speed via the steering wheel-mounted buttons up to a maximum of 3 mph or so. This features comes in extra handy when dealing with slippery or rocky hills.
