Cruise control does not work for me on the interstate or anywhere
else. It wants to constantly pop in and out of gear - drives me crazy.
I'd rather just shift when I want or let the speed drop going uphill
and pick it back up on the downside. Truckers love it.

Our truck, a Navigator, has a button on the end of the shifter lever.
It locks out the top gear, so the box doeesn't hunt for gears.

I could just drive in 4th, which would lock out overdrive, but don't
do it unless I'm towing in a pretty hilly situration.

Are you sure you can't disengage your O/D?
Well, putting the transmission in 4th definitely disengages the O/D. I
don't have a separate button somewhere to do that. Of course, it may
be hidden under the dash somewhere!
