      The truck I was driving had a DT12 (12-speed) and it would shift 1-2-4-6-8-10-12 if I remember correctly. Even with only 7 gears to go through, it still took forever. Maybe it wasn’t actually more time shifting than accelerating, but it sure felt like it lol.

        I don’t drive any more, but I’d start 18-speeds in 3rd and hit every 2nd gear on the way up
