downshift on hill descent

My previous vehicle was GMC Yukon and it slowed down noticeably when down shifting on hills. I just bought my 2019 4runner limited and getting to know the way it drives. Today, I was descending a steep hill and shifted down to 3 then 2 but didn't seem like it was slowing me much and had to apply the brake quit a bit to slow down. Is this normal for this vehicle?

2019 4Runner Limited

 

I have had a 2014 SR5 2WD (84k) and a 2020 TRD Off-Road 4WD (but being driven in 2WD, 51k). I turn onto what would be considered a moderately steep downhill incline. Whether I coast or hit the gas, my transmission is lost. It's not really fishing for a gear but it seems indecisive. During that time, yes, I do feel like applying the brakes and the gear finally feels like it engages.

After two vehicles, it's just something I expect and I'm not worried about a problem.
