    I am 2.7/4x2/Auto/Base Model (none of the fancy diff systems or array of traction switches)

    What is the proper way to descend an incline/hill with moderate terrain and not ride the brake the whole time?

    Yeah you should be fine. Fwiw I went down a steep (maybe 10% grade) hill that's about 1/5 mile long in low with a trailer full of mulch and it took me until about half way to hit 17 mph.
