Note for future - even with an automatic transmission, you can shift into a lower gear (2 or even L) on a downhill to have the engine slow you down and save your brakes.
The U-Haul automatically downshifts to engine break in tow mode when you tap the breaks. That was with engine breaking, the engine was screaming.
The gear selector also had the options for M, 2, 1 but I didn't use them for fear of blowing up the engine if it went at an even higher RPM.
