I've been using the S shifter to pull a light utility trailer for the last few weeks. All it really does when you shift it is eliminate 5th gear from the equation. Also using it doesn't mean you have to manually shift 1 to 4 as you go. It mostly eliminates the top gear depending where you shift it to but will still go through the gears like it was in D.
Hills and cruise control don't mix well especially a heavier car at 80 mph. For decades cruise control has done a crappy job with upshifts and then downshifts.
