Miracles never cease. I just now went out to see if the trans "mode button" would do anything in D mode. Nope - still starts in "1" no matter what. BUT, when I put it in Snow/Wet mode and then went into M mode the "+" button put me into M2! I thought I had tried all combinations before but I guess not. The key is to hit the "+" button before taking your foot off the brake. I think I was rolling on my previous attempts.

Yes - that is what I want. Unfortunately, the 3.5 eco with 10-speed has no M2. You have D and M. D lets you limit top gears using the +/- button. M lets you shift manually starting at "1" from a stop. You cannot get to "2" until you reach xx mph within a preset range for 2nd gear. Likewise for gears 3-10.
I live in a mountainous area and being able to lock out 6th gear on the rural 55mph roads is great. My old truck would just constantly shift between 6th and 5th and back.
