Riding the brakes = heat = failure, so downshifting then becomes essential.

I myself don't use the cruise on most hills, but it does seem to work okay on some hills. But you get a seriious hill, and i don't think 3rd will hold you back to 60 well enough. I think that's the lowest gear it will go, isn't it?
It should be i'd imagine; the highest speed allowed in second is 55 i think.
