That's my only complaint, many modern automatics are designed to lug the car in the highest gear possible to maximize MPG and are hesitant to downshift. Those that have a sport mode are typically better. On my 2012 F150 I have a 5Star performance tune that makes the automatic hold gears longer and downshift quicker, particularly when in tow/haul mode. It makes the truck much more pleasant to drive, and it spends less time hunting when I tow.
