The OP asked a very popular question about EVT vs IVT. I was disappointed that most replies shifted to "proper operation of IVT". So, no real follow-up for your EVT vs IVT. I too would like to know how EVT is making a difference in the "auto" mode operation.

Will the EVT "hunt" like an IVT when the load is just wrong? 

Do other IVT users ever see the gear/range hunting problem?

Does the EVT make smoother changes between ranges vs IVT?

These are some of the questions we have re. newer EVT vs IVT.
