Yeah, if you're going that slow definately. Not good to slip the clutches trying to pull it in 2nd. But you have to admit, first gear is quite low and you must be going slow enough for it to pop in.
I just looked it up in the owners manual, and it says while downshifting to 1st gear it will not go in until speed is below 24 mph. This is downshifting for engine braking going downhill, but i'd imagine it's the same thing. If you are above 24 mph and shift to S-1, it will beep at you twice.
This is for the 5.7 4x4 models with tow package.
