I read my manual and it says the v8 will tap shift in D but not the v6

Not everyone is as smart as you, including you Jesus

Your welcome

From the manual

On V8 models, the driver may
choose to briefly enter Tap Shift mode while in D (Drive). Tapping either the upshift or downshift
control will place the transmission in Tap Shift mode. The driver may then exit Tap Shift mode by holding the upshift control for two seconds.
The system will return to automatic shifting after 10 seconds of cruising at a steady speed, or when the vehicle comes to a stop.

From the 2015 manual:

"You may choose to briefly enter Tap Shift Mode while in D (Drive). Tapping either the upshift or downshift control will place the transmission in Tap Shift Mode. Exit Tap Shift Mode by holding the upshift control for two seconds. The system will return to automatic shifting after 10 seconds of cruising at a steady speed, or when the vehicle comes to a stop."

V8/V6 not mentioned. Apparently things changed over the years.
My V6 convertible works just this way.

Also: the is no difference between 1LT and 2LT as far as the transmission goes. Lastly, "RS" is a trim option - has nothing to do with whether it's a LS, LT, SS. Read your manual and learn...

Well, there you go. Being "smart" (or not) has nothing to do with it. It's a matter of knowing your vehicle an if you can read and comprehend, your Owner's Manual will answer many questions you may have regarding issues with factory stock cars.

I was already well aware that mine did not do the function that he was describing, I didnt need to read my manual to know that.
