About to order a 2021 LC and I have a question about manually shifting the gearbox. I live in the mountains so I use the manual shifting a lot. Can you just put the LC in, say, 3rd or 4th gear and hold it there? I imagine you can but did not pay attention the last time I drove one.

It will limit it to that top gear, but it can still select the gears below that (putting shifter in 2nd will use 1st or 2nd ).
I use manual shifting all the time in the mountains and coming to red lights, from highway cruise speeds, the 8 speed tranny feels like it needs several downshifts to get to a gear that starts to provide engine braking because it starts in 7th or 8th gear to begin with, several pulls to get me to an engine brake from 65-70mph, getting to 4th or 3rd gear, if that makes sense. It works very well and does what you are asking!

Yeah, sequential was the wrong word. Manual shifting is what I was referring to.
The 6 speed in the 08-15 is the tits for downshifting. Don't like it as much in the 8 speed LX.
