what I mean by that is : the 6 speed select shift trucks that I have owned allow the driver to start in 2nd or 3rd gear from a dead stop( why you would want to start in 3rd is beyond me )
while the 10 speed trucks will downshift back to 1st once the vehicle speeds drops to about 5 mph regardless of the gear selected.
I know you can start in 2nd on the 10-speeds, not sure if it drops back down to 1st when you slow/stop. You are correct that you can't start in 3rd.
