    I use it when working on other peoples trucks (mine doesn't have it). It's a lot easier to start it while working on it from outside instead of climbing in. Plus I'm lazy.....

    Yeah. Engine compression to hold in position while in gear, then turn it over to start moving.

    Doesn't work when you're stalled on a step that you need gas to get over.

    I think the time you'd most want to use it would be a low traction surface when you didn't want to slip the clutch and risk triggering wheelspin on startup.

    I used it a few times in my FJ, if I stalled it on a hill 4wheelin in 4 lo just hit the button and turn the key and it wouldn't roll back just start climbing.

    Perhaps you need to move the driver seat forward a notch or two, also?
