M mode. I don't believe there is any skill to it as there is no clutch. Press the gas pedal, when in the orange, push into the next gear. Woohoo

It isn't much more then an automatic transmission, you simply get to select the gear. It isn't the SMG for instance.

So throw the bad boy in M and see if you enjoy it

....4,000+ lb vehicle weight & SUV & performance rarely go together....

it will do that automatically if the logic decides you're going to break the transmission

just a safety precaution

Bingo...just cause it is in M doesn't mean it will go through redline.
