Few theoretical questions about 4th gen

#1. Hill assist thingy.. it applies brakes to prevent the truck from rolling back, right? So basically, if you brake with one foot and have the other foot on the gas, you would get the same effect?
#2. X-REAS suspension.. pretty easy to understand how it works and pretty obvious that cornering and hard braking should produce less lean/dirve. What happens though if you're cornering hard to the left, front right shock is "locked out" and you hit repetitive bumps with right front wheel?

LOL@"Don't do that".
I don't mean sports car hard cornering.. I just mean hard enough for the truck to lean a little. Wouldn't it actually be worse if the shock that has all the weight on it is locked out, if you happen to hit a bump?
